shockwaves through the industry, as thousands of workers brace themselves for the task of finding a new role in a less buoyant job market.<\/p>\n<p>However, the industry as a whole remains stable. In fact, according <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gartner.com\/en\/newsroom\/press-releases\/2022-01-18-gartner-forecasts-worldwide-it-spending-to-grow-five-point-1-percent-in-2022\">to a report by Gartner<\/a>, IT expenditure is expected to increase by 5.1% and hit $4.5 trillion by early 2023, meaning the picture is broadly positive.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Take_stock\"><\/span>Take stock<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"inarticle-wrapper channel-cta\">\n<div class=\"ica-text\">\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Join_TNW_in_Valencia\"><\/span>Join TNW in Valencia!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>The heart of tech is coming to the heart of the Mediterranean<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Mass redundancies are nothing personal (even if they aren\u2019t handled very well by senior management or a new CEO) and are not reflective of your skills, expertise, or work ethic. So, instead of looking at your lay-off as a negative, use it as an opportunity to reassess and re-establish where you really want to go next in your career.<\/p>\n<p>You could consider switching to a fully remote role that gives you the flexibility you\u2019ve been craving. Or you could think about pivoting in a different direction into an emerging and growing sector like AI, cybersecurity, or cloud services.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Give_your_CV_the_once_over\"><\/span>Give your CV the once over<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A good way to keep your head in the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> is to update your current CV with your most recent achievements while they\u2019re still fresh in your mind.

As such, tap into your network and arrange one-on-one meetings with your professional peers. While they might not be able to offer you a job, they might have valuable insights about other companies that are hiring, or be able to connect you with others in your industry.<\/p>\n<p>Networking is also invaluable in another way: it helps with bouncing ideas around, and staying up-to-date with the latest industry developments. Networking events and conferences are an opportune way to stay connected to your professional community.<\/p>\n<p>As with any kind of rejection in life, professional or otherwise, dusting yourself off and getting back in the proverbial saddle is the only way to move on.<\/p>\n<p>So if you\u2019re ready to re-enter the job market and future proof your career in 2023 and beyond, don\u2019t forget to check out The House Of Talent Job Board, or take a look at the three roles below that are hiring right now.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Engineering_Manager_mfd_Flink_Berlin\"><\/span>Engineering Manager (m\/f\/d), Flink, Berlin<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Engineering Manager at Flink will be tasked with building and growing full-stack engineering teams to meet business needs.
