Human behavioural specialist on how to bounce back from job losses

From Summer Times, 11:08 am on 9 January 2025

2024 was a year of job losses on a big scale.

An estimated 9,500 public servants have been made redundant.

Job listings stayed low throughout the year. On Seek, listings rose by one percent in November, but the number of applications per job rose by three percent at the same time.

Here to explain how to bounce back from a job loss is Hayden Brown, a human behavioural specialist and counselor based in Nelson.
