I have been laid off going on 3 months now and I’ve never felt so discouraged in my life. This job hunt for me has been frustrating and draining. It really has taken a toll on my mental health and maybe even confidence. I feel like I’m losing momentum. Any advice on staying positive throughout this journey? It’s so hard to stay upbeat and motivated at times.

Same boat for 2 months. I keep myself busy catching up on pending to do list items. Hobbies. Taking classes/ courses. Meeting friends and family. Traveling etc when I am not applying or interviewing. Somewhat works to maintain my sanity. Good luck

I’m in the same boat plus I deceived to transition over to recruiting. The market is slow right now but it’s going to change. Some of the advice I have received is to refresh linked profile . Linkin has training on how to make your profile more attractive. Looking for a job is a full time job. Hey, stay in touch and hopefully when I land my new role in recruiting, I will help you find a job.

If you’re interested, I know there’s a contract HR Manager position for three months located in Westfield Pennsylvania. They’re looking for a on-site three days a week contractor it’s for a small medical manufacturing company. All expenses will be paid. If you’re interested shoot me an email at DCooper @optonline.net and I’ll forward your résumé to the search firm that I’m helping fill the role. They are interested in filling this role fast.

I’ve been out of work since late may. I’m also having trouble finding work as well. I’m trying to focus on my hobbies since I have the time for them and being with my family. I’ve worked non stop for the last 12 years and I will make the most of the break until my new opportunity comes along!

What do you guys think about apps like BetterHelp and Talkspace?

Just seems a little fad-like and money grabby to me. Thoughts?

Hi Guys, I came on a previsit and joined and then returned back to my Home Town but while signing the contract i saw that if you leave the company withing 2 year you have to pay entire relocation cost back.

1. My initial offer letter didnt have these clause mentioned.
2. Is Pre-Visit considered as a part of relocation, I came because they denied virtual onboarding .

Now my question i didnt take relocation package i was forced to come for onboarding.
