So today I found out that I am being laid off. I am stressing out over this because I have worked here for the past 5 years and now I need to relearn everything to do with job hunting. Going out for drinks later. That'll help me calm down but at the same time I should be saving my money.
On the plus side, the jobs market is at its tightest since before 2008. Statistically, you are more likely to find a job now than at any point in the past ten years. Good luck. I know that "statistics" doesn't help all that much, but if you have the numbers on your side at least you aren't facing total opposition.
Good luck with it! Found out last week that I am being made redundant from the place I have worked for 8 years. I'm actually really excited about the prospect of working somewhere else or doing some contracting in the short term. Plus more time to play golf until I find a new job, so there are definitely some positives.
