Has getting laid off encouraged you to pivot or try a new career or have you been trying to stay in the same field? If the latter, what are you doing to make yourself more employable? I'm feeling the need to upskill or get a new certification, but I'm not sure it would help the fact that even getting a single non-automated response from companies is impossible!

I did briefly consider that now would be my time if I did want to make a change. Which probably would have been done hastily and just because I was mad about being laid off. Senses returning, I look in my field still. Wouldn’t turn down an opportunity if it came up, though, in anything.

Yes! I was in marketing and decided it was a dying field anyway, so I started working as a freelance consultant and it's been the best change I've brought about in my life so far.

During 2016, I was selected for wipro as a fresher undergone training, but I did not clear the training exams, so wipro terminated me.During tht time I created NSR profile, after tht I joined another MNC as fresher. I never mentioned wipro exp as previous exp anywhere. Now recently I got a offer frm wipro. here also I did not tell that I was earlier termined by wipro.If wipro asks me to provide NSR details during my joining, does NSR have my previous exp in their db? Does it affect my joining with wipro?
