Hi everyone, I was affected by the federal layoffs a few months ago and am struggling to get calls back on job applications I've filled out. I'm wondering if anyone had any advice or guidance.

For background: I have approximately 8 years of communications work experience, mainly in internal and executive communications. I have a few years of supervisory experience as well. BA in Psychology, MA in International Business.

I'm really ready to get back out there, does anyone have any suggestions?
