From Fear to Focus: Rebecca’s Quiet Job Search Strategy
When rumors of changes began circulating, Rebecca Higgins felt a knot in her stomach. She hadn’t lost her job but the uncertainty was real and people were scared. Like many professionals, she’d built a strong career through hard work and leadership. Still, the “what if” lingered.
“I didn’t want to wait until it happened,” Rebecca shared. “I’ve seen friends get blindsided, and I didn’t want to be caught unprepared. But honestly, I didn’t even know where to start.”
