I was laid off twice, in 1989 and 1996 and both times resulted in very positive career advancements in new jobs in different locations.
It’s not then end of the world. It’s a temporary setback and it’s a very important message from the market.
You're optimistic attitude is more than likely what has prevailed in your circumstances. Good for you. Stay BLESSED
Please keep in mind, however, "the parade only moves as fast as its slowest members."
Unfortunately I'm currently seeing a disproportionate number of very slow members in the parade. They're the ones who don't want a GOOD job.. JUST SOME MONEY!
