Found out I'm getting laid off, could use some words of encouragement.
Every open job on LinkedIn looks like it's already been swamped with applications.

Everyone I know who has been laid off got a much better job! Also, I just did a big hiring and people who applied were not qualified. I had over 300 people apply because I had a remote position and maybe 15 were qualified so don’t let the numbers get you discouraged. If you’re qualified highlight that.

And connect with recruiters! Even if they don't have a role you would be a fit for, you can pass it along to others, and they will do the same. I was laid off in December and had a new role by January and that was mainly due to people helping people.

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.

Has anyone here filed for unemployment in California?

I got laid off 2 weeks ago and at the time was seeing projections online that the fed govt pmts would only cover about 25 million ppl (not sure how accurate that is).

My claim is still pending with CA but the total amount projected per week is only $400; doesn’t include an extra $600 fed govt pmt. Does anyone know if the $600 gets added somewhere else in the process? I hope I didn’t just miss out because I was lay-off 25,000,001
