Thread Name: BS: Layoffs - Do you still have a job?
Subject: RE: BS: Layoffs - Do you still have a job?
As someone who lost his job and found a new and better one:
1. Don't limit yourself geographically. If you have to, move.
2. Network, network, network. That's what friends are for.
3. Get into a support group.
4. Follow up each interview with a thank-you note.
5. Receptionists and secretaries usually know more than the guy interviewing you. Talk with them if you can.
6. Never give up.
