Best of luck. Enjoy the surfing in the meantime. There is life after a layoff. Hang in there fellow fish!

The surf will be UP with H Maria spinning up the E coast. Enjoy. This is a good time to be laid off (compared to spring/summer = SLOW) as this is the part of the year that gets busy. Good luck.

After 6 years of temporary contracts and unstable situations, I find my dream job in my dream company. All of a sudden the world goes upside down and I get laid off. I start sending hundreds of applications, with only 2 recruiters getting back to me to say I don’t have experience for the job (this is how it works in Italy). Add a terrible health situation in my family and it seems there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Ugh. 😞
