After being “counselled out”, I have 2 months left to find a new job. I would like to leverage people around me (friends & headhunters) to find suitable opportunities.
However, to avoid the concern that I'm let go due to underperformance, I'm trying to think of smart ways to frame that I'm “open to explore new opportunities” instead of “urgently want a job”.
It just sounds a bit weird wanting to switch job during such a bad economic timing and only 1 year experience with the firm.
Any tips on this please? What would be a good balance between maximizing networks to land a job vs. sounding desperate?
