A job is something you do, not who you are. Remember to appreciate everything you bring to the table, your skills, your unique experience, your creativity, and your resilience. What’s one strength you’re proud of that ISN'T on your resume?

That's a great reminder. I think I'm most proud of how patient I am, especially since that hasn't always been the case. Maybe it's just from getting older or having kids, but I'm so much more patient across the board now than I used to be and I'm proud of myself for it.

That's a fantastic quality! It really should be on your resume, I can't picture any job where patience wouldn't be beneficial.

It happened again today. I was walking from my car into a building and remembered I had forgotten to lock my car.

Can anyone relate to this feeling?

Additional Posts in Laid Off in Tech Support Group

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞

Was laid off in Sept. Unfortunately we will be seeing many more coming. It's what happens in a recession. Unfortunately I now also have my age against me. Not in a mentally good place at the moment.

After 6 years of temporary contracts and unstable situations, I find my dream job in my dream company. All of a sudden the world goes upside down and I get laid off. I start sending hundreds of applications, with only 2 recruiters getting back to me to say I don’t have experience for the job (this is how it works in Italy). Add a terrible health situation in my family and it seems there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Ugh. 😞

Hey team! So I was laid off from my SDR position about a week ago. A couple months back, I had an offer for a BDR position that I ended up turning down but I really liked and connected with the manager. Is it worth it to reach out? I applied to other positions in the same company. What about reaching out to previous co workers at a different company? Not sure how to navigate this… please help. Also I’m sorry if this is the wrong bowl to post in.
