I think the single best thing to do would be to try and practise failure. So, try and simulate the things that you know you might encounter in a particular place of work, or a particular experience, and go through the motions of practicing that, so that you start to build the coping mechanisms that will help you be more career-resilient. Now, for every single job and every single sector, that’s something slightly different. So, resilience is very, very context-specific.

But only through that process of simulation and training yourself to learn the coping mechanisms can you then become more career-resilient and confident about when you actually face a situation, that it isn’t a shock, that actually you can face it with some kind of balanced approach and confidence that you have dealt with it before in some way, shape, or form.
