Didn't exactly lose a job. But I'm passively looking at this point - doesn't seem like there are too many remote roles for sure.

Luckily got a job after an old friend backed me up with a referral. Friend know how much I was struggling and he offered help immediately.

Did not exactly lose my job at the height of the pandemic but I did lose it because of the economic challenges brought about by covid. I was laid off 4 months ago. Still on the hunt, unfortunately.

I'm employed now. I went back to my old company before my previous one. Just got lucky with the boomerang. I'm just so grateful.

I found work after the 3rd or 4th month of job hunting. It was the biggest challenge I had to face during the pandemic. It was scary.

I got laid off from my previous job. Sometime in November. I'm really thankful I got the help I needed. Just started my new job a few weeks ago.

We stopped our operation for a year. I think my previous company was not able to recover. That's how I lost my job. Thankfully, an old colleague helped me out.

I found my next job after a couple of months. I like it here since my colleagues are very supportive. However, the pay is not that great.

Hi everyone. I was a solution engineer at Oracle. I graduated from college in May and this was my first job out of college so the lay offs were pretty rough. I majored in Supply chain management and I have 2 internships under my belt. Do you guys have any advice or tips on what to do moving forward? I would like to stay in tech and I’m giving it a few weeks before I start pivoting to more traditional supply chain roles. Thanks.
