Just the way you said it.

Or “i was a project based analyst and my project was completed with no additional projects in the pipeline.”

They don’t disclose you were fired/laid off. They can only share dates of employment and salary. Just say there weren’t many projects in your area of expertise that were selling and you were laid off. I was laid off previously and they don’t ask really much more than that.

Ok. Thank you so much for your advice. I appreciate that!

Just be as honest as possible.

Of course a firm won’t officially say they fired you, it’s way too risky. However, in reality, it is a small world and people talk - right or wrong it’s reality.
Also, some will not outright say you got fired, but still convey the message. From tone and word choice, or perhaps what isn’t said, they can still make you look bad if one has an axe to grind.

I agree. Honestly really is the best policy.

6 months pregnant and just laid off. And 40% of my severance was just taken in taxes .. I just spoke with paid family leave and I no longer qualify even though I had been paying into the program (thanks NY).. I already applied for unemployment but doctors are telling me I’ve got 10-14 weeks left in this pregnancy.. so stressed having twins and being unemployed, no maternity leave, no paychecks coming in, and I’ve been applying but not a single interview.. just ugh. 😭

With so much uncertainty in the economy and waves of layoffs that have hit tech especially hard... do we think there's really such a thing as a recession-proof job anymore if you're not an "essential worker"?

Y’all. NO ONE KNOWS HOW MANY PEOPLE, AND WHO, WILL BE LAID OFF. The economy may bounce back next month or next year. It may get much worse or maybe we just sit stagnant before things improve. Firms may lay off a lot or maybe just super low performers. No one knows. Stop reading tea leaves and just work hard and try to save a bit more than usual. There’s nothing else you can do.
