Helping Black Professionals
Land Well After a Layoff
A layoff changes everything overnight— the title, the routine, the team.
What shouldn’t disappear with it is your sense of direction.
Through Your Next Chapter, you will:
• Rebuild your resume from the ground up
• Overhaul your LinkedIn so it tells your real story
• Build a job search strategy that fits your goals, not a generic playbook
• Prepare for interviews, including mock interview practice
• Negotiate salary and offers so you don’t leave money on the table
• Own the narrative and talk about this chapter with confidence and power
• Set up your references the right way for your next move
• Work through all of it in 1:1 sessions, at your own pace
The Onyx Truth: A layoff doesn’t diminish your value. It just means it’s time for the next chapter.
For the Employer
If you’re the one who just got the news:
We’re not going to sugarcoat it. This is hard. But a layoff doesn’t diminish your value. It just means it’s time for the next chapter, and we’re here to help you write it with clarity, strategy, and your head held high.
If your employer has arranged support for you through this program, you can get started right away at no cost to you. If they haven’t, you can still work with us directly through Career Therapy.

How you support people on the way out says everything about who you are to the people who stay.
