Your first instinct will be to problem-solve -- don't. What they need in the first days is validation, not a strategy session. "That's awful, I'm sorry" does more than "Have you tried LinkedIn?" Once the dust settles, offer concrete help: review their CV, make introductions, share a job listing you spotted. Generic encouragement like "it'll be fine" is well-meaning but hollow. Specific actions show you actually care.
The point
Validate first, then offer concrete help like CV reviews or introductions -- not generic reassurance.
