With all that news about job cuts on Monday... unfortunately I was one of them.
The economy was doing bad and my company was doing bad so of our team of 10, I think they were letting about 5 go. My manager had sympathy and he didnt kick me out on the street. We talked and he gave some good advice. Actually told me I could use the company resources, ask for advice, review my resume, and continue to get paid for the next 2 weeks.
I think that shows that the company cares, just couldn't make it with the cashflow of the business.
Luckily I have some money saved up and I should be good with savings for a short amount of time 5-6months, but thats all I have. No car payments, just rent, and food expenses. I'm pretty young 25 and live in a fairly expensive area (DC), but I hope to find work soon.
Any advice from you wise ones here? Anyone been through this before? I'm ready to do unemployment once I eligible.
Continue to put money into the market? or hold off? Or make it minimal but stay in the game.
I'm back on monster, hotjobs, career builder, etc. and am getting some leads.
I can't wait to be w*rking again (haha - i need the money) then I can be on my way to ER again.
