Redundancies are no longer rare headlines –\u00a0 they\u2019re a reality for more households across the Bay of Plenty. Over the past year, we\u2019ve seen restructuring ripple through tourism, forestry, and professional services, leaving many workers facing an uncertain future.<\/p>\n
What happens next often looks different for everyone. Some people take it as a chance to retrain or finally make the career change they\u2019ve been putting off. Others need something stable quickly to keep the bills paid. Neither path is wrong. What matters is giving yourself a moment to breathe, then putting small steps in place to stay prepared.<\/span><\/p>\n Update your LinkedIn and other professional profiles you may have, look into the ways that you can boost your visibility online.
