Imagine planning to buy a new house in the new city where you’ve moved for your new job, when, all of a sudden, you’re told you’re being let go. You thought you were being called into a regular meeting, and then they dropped the bomb. Losing a job is often a stressful and overwhelming experience, especially for people who are in the middle of building their lives. So, what do you do when you get laid off?

Today's guest has a lot to tell you, and he can help you strategize your next step and reclaim the power in your career. As a corporate recruiter, career coach, hiring manager, and HR professional working directly for companies like Amazon, Visteon (Ford Motors), Korn Ferry, FedEx, and more, Bryan Creely has interviewed and hired thousands of people in his career. He has also sat in countless intake calls and post-interview debriefs with hundreds of hiring managers and interview teams.

After being let go in 2020, Bryan bounced back and promoted himself to CEO of his career. He founded A Life After Layoff, where he teaches proven career strategies to prepare you for any interview, regardless of role, company, or industry.

Join us as we delve into the ultimate insider info on the recruitment process for many companies and the conversations behind closed doors. Bryan also shares some strategies to avoid getting fired, what to do if you get laid off, and, most importantly, how to be the CEO of your career. I think you're going to enjoy listening to this episode as much as I enjoyed speaking with Bryan.

"You can actually create your own luck by being in the right place at the right time with the right skills, the right tools, and the right people and doing it purposefully. And that's not luck. That's called having a strategy in your career."
