I’m sorry to hear about that , heard a tip about LinkedIn where you just type hiring now. It gives a lot of results.

Do you know any good ones in the LA area?

Sorry to hear about this! Keep your head up but take time to deal with the grief.

What market are you in maybe someone here will have some leads for you.

Thank you! I’m in Los Angeles but open to NYC as well. Remote is an option too.

Dont use "open to work" on Linkedin. It rarely works and there was a recent article out about how it actually works against positive branding. Use LinkedIn and Indeed to find the jobs, BUT apply directly on the company website. Remember it will take an avg of 4-5 weeks from date of app to hire date and avg 7-8 weeks to first paycheck. You should be looking as if it is your fulltime job with these stats in mind. Contact local temp and third party recruiters immediately to get your name out there. It is a numbers game.

Great insight - thanks a lot!

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? 😞
