“laid off from remote job after 2 years, struggling to find new work”
What Actually Happened
I was laid off from a job I loved, with no warning, and have struggled to find new work ever since. I've applied to over 100 jobs and only gotten 5 interviews and 2 offers, which didn't work out.
What I wish I knew
"I wish I had saved more money and had a more stable financial safety net before losing my job."
Advice to Someone Facing This Now
If I could tell you one thing
