One of my favorite things about writing for Forbes is that I get dozens of pitches every single day. While that may sound like Inbox overload, the steady stream of information helps me see topics that are trending, news I might have missed, and hints of public sentiment.
Unfortunately, lately there has been a lot of pitches about layoffs and downbeat market news — for example, this survey showing 58% of HR leaders admit their company doesn’t provide enough support to employees during layoffs.
If you’re in one of those companies that doesn’t provide support and you’re worried about layoffs, my latest Forbes post shares tips on how to get the help you need. I cover 3 categories of help to aim for – job search support; emotional support; and financial resources.

My recent Forbes posts have all been about difficult aspects of the job market:
What to do when your career is being replaced by AI
What to do as an older professional behind on retirement
How to turn freelance gigs into a reliable career path
What topics should I cover in future posts?
