Can I report there anyway even if I am employed?

There’s no way to answer this question. It depends on your education, your YOE, your skill sets, where the cuts in workforce happens, when the economy is expected to rebound, what city you’re in, what industry you’ve worked in and whether there are transferable skills.

Depends on the definition of recession

Naw. It’s (D)ifferent

It depends

It could be like 35% harder than usual. Are you having layoffs in your company? I hope not.

Not hard, you can see it differently: what about creating your own opportunity?
That’s always as easy as this, theoretically.

I was recently (in April) fired from a good nursing position that I was at for 5 years. I reached out to my old ADON to get some information on where we had our vaccinations from and she told me that I should come back and the administrator that I had issues with is gone. Is this something I should even consider? I miss my patients and some of my coworkers and the pay is better, but I don't feel like I would really be welcome to come back.

I am seeking new employment, I was recently laid off due to lack of work. I would very much appreciate any leads. I have a Bs in Construction Management and over 15 years experience with Revit and AutoCAD and 7 years of plumbing design. I have solid references and impeccable work ethic. I truly enjoy what I do. Working remotely the last three years has become a way of my life and supports our current situation well, therefore I am seeking a similar role but will consider other opportunities.

Hi all -
Sorry for the long rant, but could use advice or just encouragement.

Got laid off for the first time in my career 3 weeks ago. I have 10 years of PM experience (mostly ecommerce & experimentation). I was fortunate in the past to have had recruiters scout me directly so this is the first time in over a decade that I am applying to everything that I’m qualified for, mostly qualified for, and way over qualified for with zero leads. Only 3 interviews thus far that didn’t go forward.
