Hello everyone,

Hope you’re doing well. I am reaching out to you with a mix of urgency and a touch of social media’s power to help. Unfortunately, I faced a job layoff and in the market for data related roles.

I have been job hunting for the last 5 months and had no luck securing a job until now. I’m financially and emotionally drained at this point where I don’t have a safe housing and health insurance on me. I appreciate you guys helping me in this situation. Please help 🙏🏻

Is there a single collection of which agencies are hiring right now, which are laying off, furloughing, etc?

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.

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.

After 6 years of temporary contracts and unstable situations, I find my dream job in my dream company. All of a sudden the world goes upside down and I get laid off. I start sending hundreds of applications, with only 2 recruiters getting back to me to say I don’t have experience for the job (this is how it works in Italy). Add a terrible health situation in my family and it seems there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Ugh. 😞
