Layoffs

I’m super strong on art/design but rarely got a chance to flex the conceptual side. I got laid off and that issue isn’t playing in my favor. How do I convince CDs i’m emailing to take a chance on me?

Where did the senior consultants (post mba) you know, end up after being laid off this winter/spring? Was it easy or hard for them to find jobs?

Hi All,
I was laid off back in April from an EHR software company working as a Consultant/BA. I’m looking to transition into working in consulting and was wondering if anyone wouldn’t mind checking out my resume for some feedback? I would appreciate it!

Just got laid off from my big company in-house gig. So, it’s not exclusive to the agency world.

Recession? Thoughts? Who was around in 2009? Half of my class got laid off

I’m finding that a weird side effect of losing my job in this climate is ad agencies taking advantage of my weakened position. They get in touch, proactively or in response to my reaching out, and they want to hire me as they are in good shape. When I reveal I was laid off, the offer changes to freelance or maybe nothing. My work, awards, the fact that they know me and approached me in the first place should be enough. I don’t want to lie about my situation. Any ideas how to avoid this?

I was going to hand in my letter of resignation today. But before I can do that, I got laid off. Woo-Hoo! Hello, severance!
