Wow! What a day! What type of company starts layoffs right before the holidays? Lost my job this morning and I am stressed out. Is there any chance of finding a new job before the holidays? I'm doubting it.

I found a job in the last quarter within a week and I thought that was impossible. You will not have a start date before Jan 1 but you can be hired and go through the interview process. I’m sorry to hear that, but my layoff was the best thing that happened to me this year. I’m making 30% more with more chance at advancement. Hire a resume professional, use recruiters. You will be better than ok

Hello! I got laid off on October 11 and applied for a LOT of jobs and had quite a few interviews. (Probably around a dozen or a little more.) I finally was hired two weeks ago to start next Monday. My pay is going from $58,448 from my last company to $82,000 for my new job! It's a whooping 33.5% increase! Getting laid off ultimately worked out for the best for me getting me a much better paying job. That type of increase in pay would take forever at my old company. I am sorry that you lost your job. Hopefully you should be able to get unemployment in the mean time and your company provided a severance to keep you afloat until you are hired and get your first paycheck. Good luck!! Things can and will work out for the better on the other side!!!

Where are you located?

I am hiring producers, if you're interested.

Yes, we are fully remote.

We also had company layoffs on Dec 1. My husband was impacted (we worked at the same company). This past week has been so hard to stay motivated with morale being really low and continuously learning of more people I knew that were also laid off.

Times are rough right now but I promise better opportunities are around the corner. It’s hard to see it now, but chances are you’ll look back and be grateful for the new path it put you on. Keep looking and don’t give up!

Sorry to hear that try LM

I've tried referrals through LM and applying on my own no luck yet. 🥹

I am seeking new employment, I was recently laid off due to lack of work. I would very much appreciate any leads. I have a Bs in Construction Management and over 15 years experience with Revit and AutoCAD and 7 years of plumbing design. I have solid references and impeccable work ethic. I truly enjoy what I do. Working remotely the last three years has become a way of my life and supports our current situation well, therefore I am seeking a similar role but will consider other opportunities.
