My partner and I moved to dormont this past fall to be closer to his job as a financial analyst downtown. Today, he was laid off. I’m hoping he can find a better paying position anyway, but it’s terrifying not knowing what’s next… any advice?

First, apply for unemployment.

Second, network!! There are a bunch of us here in different industries who can help with referrals and send job openings his way.

Third, I always remind myself that in a pinch I could go back to bartending/serving/catering until I got something full-time in my field again.

I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞
