I lost my job in November and I’ve had zero luck in landing a job. Seems like I can’t even get hired at Whole Foods.
Any thoughts on what I could do? What am I doing wrong? Feeling hopeless. I have no income coming in anymore and like everyone else I’ve got bills and rent to pay.

Additional Posts in Laid Off in Tech Support Group

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.
