Hello, so it's not easy to share my feelings but there's been one part of my life I have not been able to manage well and that is job stability. I am highly educated and have a normal family life and am middle aged in my 50's. Every since I started out on my career out of school in my twenties and now even over 15+ years into Information Tech, I have only had short stints at companies, maybe 1-2 years at best...I've been laid off, right sized, fired as well....everything yet I like what I do but I have a personality where I am outgoing and do not want to be a mere "widget"...I have made big things happen for companies and have not really gotten much back from all that help...I find myself back on the job market after being laid off from covid, having had covid last year then having taken a job that was told to me as one thing but turned out to be another. I have a family and my instability is a constant source of stress for my family, myself and also leads to my having a deep dissappointment with myself...I have the skills but I cannot succeed in every work environment and finding the right role, people are very challenging to me. I keep falling back to the job market much too often and this is a part of me that I wish I could control and I feel listless and without direction and my anxiety levels are high....it's not good for my health, mental state and it just always thrusts me into crisis mode...I would love to hear advice on how I can change that now and with my next role.
Thanks for sharing. I'm sorry your struggling and I hope you are able to overcome this soon. There is a lot to cover here but I will do my best to help bit by bit.
Thanks, that's why I figured at least one 1:1 session might help...what I need is someone as a personal and career coach that can help me work through these as some of it is my fault but most of the time being out of a job is not my fault but business dynamics and I need to do better to manage my anxiety and coping skills.
