Three full months have passed since I was laid off from my job in January, when I wrote Forced Reductions: The Emotions of Being Laid Off, and my work situation hasn’t meaningfully changed since then in spite of how busy I’ve been trying to figure out what my next move is going to be: in addition to sending out flight after flight of cold applications, I’ve also engaged my personal network, both weak and strong connections, for lots of Skype conversations and catch-up chats to let people know I’m looking and ask for their help with referrals.
Thanks for writing this, and best wishes for both your career and your wedding!
