Never! I've heard of people getting jobs 3-6 months following a lay off. Keep LinkedIn as is and use references from a different job.

Freelancing for the win!

Always! I actually did a conference in front of all my colleagues explaining how and why I've been laid off every job I've ever had.

Say you drank your weight in bourbon and now you're ready for work. They'll laugh and think you're joking... then gracefully say, "no seriously, I was freelancing.. but im ready for something different." Gets'em every time.

Hello fellow designers!

I was laid off back in August and I have been trying to get a product/UX/UI job ever since then. With the recession and all of the crazy things that are happening right now it has been even harder.

Is anyone hiring a mid-level Product/UX/UI designer?
I have 3 years of experience as a UX/UI Designer and I am available to start working immediately! (Remote work is preferred since I live in Phoenix, AZ and there are not a lot of tech jobs here)

TIA ♥️

Wife and I are going in with my BIL and SIL to pay for a retirement/40th anniversary/MIL's 60th birthday trip to an island for my parents in law when they retire next year. They think we forgot about all of those events and are going to lose it when we give the gift at Christmas.

Father in law has had a lot of frustration, getting included in two mass layoffs in two years and taking two straight 40% pay cuts at the end of his career. We're so excited to give them something to look forward to.

For recruiters, hiring managers, HR, or anyone with past experience — if I’ve been laid off (startup financial problems) and I’ve set my LinkedIn to “open to work,” should I also post something that says I’m looking? I saw someone post their resume + open to work and asked people to share with their network, and while I’m not willing to be quite that vulnerable, it made me wonder if there’s value in a post like that.

My boss fired me because i ask for clarification on my employment right.

I got hired not long ago. I realise some of the employee benefits i was told (missing in the contract) contradict with what’s stated on the law. So i email the boss about it and ask for clarification. Immediately after the email i was fired.

Just want to make sure people know this and don’t apply jobs in this shady company- it is called UniQ Biotech, in Delta, BC, Canada

Should one add their personal technology that are currently used for remote work on their resume? Seems most companies will provide the hardware and software needed. However, it’s unclear if the employer will provide this through Teamviewer/VPN connection or will send an actual computer. Along with this, would it be pertinent to add your internet capability (speed, fios/cable/satellite/dsl)?

From my experience thus far (10 years) CD/ads are better giving copy feedback than CD/cws are giving art feedback.

CWs, advice, develop a good sense of aesthetic and even design/art lingo early on before you become CD. A CD CW should know what things like kerning is.

I swear to god that my CCO (cw) just asked me to “add more photoshop to an image” (verbatim) almost slapped a few PS logo on it.
