Sometimes if you're laid off your old employer will vouch that you are still employed with them until a certain date. If you were fired... Well that's a different story. You don't have to tell them you are laid off... You can say you left to reevaluate your career /path.

How would they find out?

like

When doing a background check, they will find out my start date and end date. They will not find out any reason I am not employed anymore. But they will find out I am not employed. 1) I think this will hurt any negotiating power I thought I once had. 2) I feel like they will see the unemployment as a red flag.

like

I asked HR and they said they can't say I'm still employed with them. Wouldn't it raise red flags to say I left without having another job lined up? I'm thinking of just being honest and saying I was laid off due to cutting costs and outsourcing. What do you think?

If I get laid off, I have a previous colleague that started a cybersecurity company. I would love to get involved on the business side of it. Any pointers on skills that are attractive in this realm for a startup? Would be mostly (if not all) federal defense contracting clients. I’m currently in Deloitte’s cyber risk practice but my background and passion is in accounting and finance, and business operations. Graduated in 2017 so still early career.
