The first phase of a successful job search—Activation—is often the hardest step to take. Activation isn’t just about getting started—it’s about preparing to succeed.
After experiencing restructuring or job termination, it’s natural to feel stuck, uncertain, and even a bit lost. The wounds of sudden change and unresolved emotions can linger, making it difficult to regain focus and motivation.
Many job seekers turn to online applications and job portals to feel productive, but these efforts often yield little response, adding to frustration. Networks that could help with opportunities may feel out of reach, leaving individuals isolated in their search.
Activation is about confronting these challenges head-on. It’s a process of working through the emotional impact, finding closure, and regaining confidence. This stage sets the foundation for a focused and proactive job search by shifting from simply “doing something” to taking purposeful steps toward new opportunities.
By addressing the past and redefining goals, job seekers can move forward with clarity and readiness for the next phase. Activation isn’t just about getting started—it’s about preparing to succeed.
