Why would you lie on your resume about official last days? Being laid off is so normal, it's not like you did anything wrong that got you fired. I recommend being honest and upfront w/ interviewers. If they think you're a second-class candidate because you were laid off, they're probably not a great place to work. Good luck OP!

Thanks PwC 2. Has anyone asked during interviews yet? For the interviews I've had so far, I had submitted my resume before my official last day but now I feel like im lying so I think I'll do the June thing too. Just not sure how to tackle the question when it's inevitably asked (especially Bc a lot of my interviewers are ex consultants)

PwC, why does that matter? I posted about being laid off a while ago so I'm not a new round, just an old one still using this app. NYC

Got it- makes sense! I had my resume ready because I was somewhat actively looking earlier this year too. What are you looking for?

@PwC 3, not lying- I sent my resume to a bunch of companies that I'm currently interviewing for before I was laid off. Question now is if these opportunities don't work out how to make the change to my resume. Thanks for the wishes, what you're saying is true.

Have an interview with a company I really want to work for tomorrow. My last job I was laid off b/c of an acquisition&recently accepted a job at a diff company b/c I couldnt afford not to. I got this invite shortly after. The place I’m interviewing at the job wouldn’t start til next year. I dont want to seem like a job hopper. Do i tell them I’m at a new role or just not bring it up? The acquisition was public so they can see Im no longer employed with the most recent work history on my resume

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?
