Many employees underestimate the importance of their own professional experiences. They assume that because they experienced it, it must be normal. However, the experiences you consider regular may provide the exact insights that someone else sorely needs. When redundancy forces you to reflect, one of the most empowering options you can make is to create content from your professional experience. It is an opportunity to regain your voice, boost your confidence, and reposition yourself in the job market.

Your professional experience is more than just a list of tasks you completed. It is a collection of challenges overcome, relationships formed, issues addressed, and skills acquired over time. Sharing these experiences publicly allows employers and industry peers to see the depth of your knowledge. It gives them a clearer sense of how you think and what you can bring to a team. In the UK job market, where competition can be intense, this kind of visible insight can be the difference between being overlooked and being discovered.

Creating content from your experience does not require writing a book or giving a TED talk. It can be as simple as sharing stories, lessons and insights in a conversational and relatable tone. Think about the moments in your career when you learned something important. Perhaps you dealt with a difficult client and discovered a tactic that made communication easier. Maybe you solved a recurring technical problem that others struggled with. Perhaps you managed a small project, trained new staff or helped implement a new system. These moments carry value that others can learn from.

When you share content based on your experience, you build credibility organically. People trust those who speak from what they have lived. Employers also find experienced voices compelling because they reveal the mindset behind your actions. You are no longer just a name on a CV. You become a professional with a perspective, someone who understands the realities of the workplace and can bring depth to a role.

There is also healing in expressing your experiences. Redundancy can shake the foundations of your identity, especially if you spent many years in one role or organisation. Content creation becomes a way to remind yourself of your strengths and contributions. Each time you write, you rediscover lessons you may have forgotten. You reconnect with the value you brought to your workplace. You re-establish your sense of competence and capability.

Your professional stories can take many forms. You can share reflections about teamwork, growth, leadership, communication, mistakes, resilience or navigating workplace change. You can discuss industry trends you’ve observed over the years. You can write about the tools you mastered, the systems you used or the customer behaviours you noticed. You can describe the most challenging moments and what they taught you. You can talk about the victories you are proud of and the failures that shaped you.
