Rehired: A 30-Day Workbook for Your Next Tech Role
A 30-day workbook for people in tech who have been laid off, are weighing an exit offer, or are waiting to hear. About 25 minutes a day takes you to a settled runway, a profile that points at a role that is hiring, a piece of recent work people can open, and applications that go in through people who know you. You fill it in on your phone.
What happens in 30 days
Week 1, Steady: your money and papers, a decision made on purpose, your three lines and first five messages, a target role chosen from ten real job posts, and your headline, About and Experience.
Week 2, Proof: your skills against the market, a proof piece of recent work, recommendations from your team, Open to Work and job alerts, your search post, and the proof on your profile.
Week 3, People: the fear named, a map of thirty people, reconnecting, ten target companies, twenty-minute conversations and the referral ask.
Week 4, Offers: a shortlist, applying through a person, your layoff answer, interview practice, your terms for pay, stock and a start date, and your first 90 days.
Days 29 and 30: a weekly rhythm for the search, and a clear decision on LinkedIn® Premium Career. Check-ins at Day 60 and Day 90 keep you going.
Four roles, three situations
From Day 4, every day has a line for your kind of role: engineers; testing, support and operations; product, design and programme roles; and managers and leaders.
Days 1 to 3 carry a line for your situation: laid off, weighing an exit offer, or waiting to hear. Key days later in the book carry both.
