If your position at your current firm got eliminated due to internal restructuring but would still be technically employed until the end of severance period a few months later, would you tell the recruiting consultant and new jobs you are applying for that you no longer work actively for the previous firm and on severance leave?

I would probably be honest. They will likely found out eventually anyhow and you don't want to lie. Plus it is not your fault that you got laid off.

I'm the only employee with a background in finance in a tech startup growing at a 300%+ per year. But it's actually my first finance-related experience (interned and now part-time as I'm in my senior year of undergrad) and don't know really how to have an impact as my knowledge is "limited" and have no technical mentorship.

Any advice/mentorship would be wonderful!
