Here it is!! The letter has arrived and so I’m officially out.

Fortunately, in Switzerland there’s a minimum of “coverage,” and I still have 3 months’ notice before I have to definitively leave the job.

Advice for those in my same situation:

First thing → go to the nearest ORP center and ask for information. This is because the guidelines are a bit vague and every center has its own procedures. It probably depends on the workload they’re under.

Now I have to start right away looking for a job. Because I want this journey in the unemployment limbo to last as little as possible. At the expense of the blog 😃 but I’m not the kind of person who can just sit there with my hands in my pockets.

And so, let’s start by putting ideas in order.

The CV needs to be reorganized, understanding how to structure it in the era of AI. Because we all know it: by now the recruitment world makes massive use of tools to filter applications.

They need to optimize time, filter hundreds if not thousands of applications.

Or maybe the role has simply been a bit devalued and has become a job for simple “paper pushers.”

I don’t want to generalize too much because I haven’t entered the blender yet and I don’t have enough concrete examples.

But between LinkedIn, Reddit and blogs, the observations are very aligned… the situation is serious.

There’s a strong mismatch between candidates and recruiters, which is bringing free toxicity to the environment.

In the coming months I’ll see the real world on my own skin and I’ll be able to form a more solid opinion.

Here we are.

The journey has begun, we set sail!
