  1. 2

    Today marks a significant milestone for me as I started my new job after being unemployed for almost exactly a month. I was laid off from my previous company on July 20th, and it was a challenging time for me. I want to take a moment to thank everyone for their support during my job search journey. I created a Sankey chart to visualize my job search stats, which I hope might be helpful for others in a similar situation. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found a new position so quickly, and I recognize that my hard work played a role, but luck was also on my side when a company decided to take an interest in me. For those of you who are still job hunting, I understand how scary and difficult it can be, especially when the timeline for finding a new role is uncertain. Please keep pushing through and submitting those applications, even when it feels discouraging. I'm here to help if anyone has questions or needs advice. We’re all in this together.

  2. 1

    I got laid off today along with my entire department at my company, just a week shy of my one-year anniversary. It was a shock since we had no warning, and even my supervisor, who was also let go, didn't see it coming. The economy isn't great right now, and our industry is particularly struggling, so in hindsight, it makes sense, but it still hit hard. I was hoping to avoid job hunting for a while longer, but at least I'm not completely out of practice. I plan to take today to process everything, and tomorrow I'll start updating my resume and my website, and dive into LinkedIn. I just needed to share this since it all happened about two hours ago.
