I actually landed a freelance gig 4 weeks after my second layoff working on a dream account/project.

All about being at the right time at the right place, it’s a game of resilience 💪

My first layoff I was unemployed for 15 months 🫠🥴

Reach out to your network. Someone you know knows someone who knows someone that is hiring. As long as you never burnt bridges with past roles/companies....you'll land something...the RIGHT thing and at the RIGHT time.

Been having trouble moving on since girlfriend ended relationship 3 weeks ago after 2+ years of dating. Before ending it she came over 3 weeks prior to basically give me a chance to work things out and we had a good discussion but then I went back into our routine and didn’t really fight for it or have serious follow up convos that we needed. Now I just have so many regrets that I let her go. I know we still love each other and left on “good” terms but can’t forgive myself for my lack of action.
