I'm really glad I waited to get another job before resigning at my current. I know that's the rule, and I've always followed it but I have been so unhappy where I am that I saved up months worth and was ready to "take a break"...but seeing these videos flood my fyp lately about being out of work for YEARS....I'm just glad I waited. I hope you find something soon that's right for you!!

Four days is no time at all to process something like this. Give yourself some grace. Losing a job brings uncertainty, fear, anger, and grief, and crying doesn't mean you're falling apart. You're already doing the right things. You've updated your resume, reached out to people, and you're putting yourself out there every day. That's progress, even if it doesn't feel like it yet. Try not to measure your worth by how quickly someone responds to an application. Your job ended. Your value didn't. Take care of yourself while you search. Pray. Get outside. Talk to people who care about you. Let yourself have the hard moments without letting them convince you the future is hopeless. Four days into this, you don't need to have everything figured out. You only need to keep moving forward one day at a time. I'm praying the right opportunity finds its way to you soon, and that God gives you peace and strength while you wait. ✝️🛐

Networking is real. Get out, grab a coffee, and bring your laptop. Apply for jobs somewhere other than your apartment or house. A change of scenery can help. You got this.

Laid Off to Lift Off :
I’m sorry. Being laid off is such an emotional toll. You have every right to feel how you feel. I was laid off in 2024 after 10 years. A year later, I started a podcast called Laid Off to Lift Off where people share their layoff stories, where they are now and advice for others. I wanted to spread stories of hope and resilience cause I know how exhausting and lonely this phase can feel. Feel free to check it out whenever you’re ready on Spotify, Apple and YouTube. Rooting for you !

There are people who have been unemployed for a year or more and have put in 1,000+ resumes. Don't apply through LinkedIn or Indeed. They are gathering data. If you are over 40 and unemployed for more than 6 months, Workday scores you low. That scores applies to every single job you apply to for up to 330 days. Kids graduating from Princeton can't find work. They are bartending. Women are being laid off more than men.

No. Spend that first week day enjoying all the things you couldn’t while at work. Go to a museum, go shopping. Then start getting serious from week 2!

Hey queen - first, emotions are valid. But second, our brains reinforce what we feed them. So tomorrow, make your breakfast GOOD. Take your laptop and a book MTP somewhere with good coffee and *sunshine*. Also your hair is real nice. 😍

Companies need to stop doing this to people. We are in the same boat, hubby was laid off last month. It's so scary and stressful. I don't know how long we can hold on, and losing our home just seems so cruel for larger profit for share holders. Corporations should have a moral obligation to not financially ruin the lives of the people they employ

It’s going to suck for awhile. I went 6 months 2 years ago after a mass salary layoff. Staying busy and doing some things you want to do is key. Nights are hard. You feel alone and like you’ll never get a job again. Made sure to take this time to focus on you and do things that you enjoy.
