BCG Q&A
Question:

I am a mid-level corporate associate, and have just been told that I am being laid off because there is not enough work in my practice group. My firm is giving me three months to find a new position. One of my friends at the firm has advised me that I should not tell my headhunter the truth about my situation because it will only hurt my chances of finding a new job. Is this true?

Daily Job Search Advice from the CEO of BCG Attorney Search

A. Harrison Barnes, Founder and CEO, BCG Attorney Search
Induction, Deduction, and Your Career
By Harrison Barnes | Dated: 2024-04-16 06:30:47

The past does not dictate the future, so you should not use inductive reasoning to make conclusions about your life or career.

You will find your conclusions to be much more accurate, and you will succeed as a result.

The post Induction, Deduction, and Your Career first appeared on Harrison Barnes.
