Ooh....that iz teh sad. But better than being President on the Board of PWNED....which could be me.

Yeah. Getting laid off is way better than being fired. At least I got a couple thousand in severance pay and I can go on unemployment until I find something new.

I hope you didn't spend the pay riase you got recently.

Good luck. Don't try looking here in Eugene, though. Zero growth means what jobs?

sad for you but glad it is laid off and not fired, cuz severance+unemployment is nice

kendo boyfriend especaly feels your pain, his work is going to lay him off (fredmyers is moving chris's (payroll) department to Kansas) once they figure out how they want to do things..so he dosent really know when the ax is gonna fall, the longer it takes the better cuz each year he's worked there adds to it (and i like the freddys discount he gets

anywho, I hope you get a new job that makes good money and is more rewarding then your last job, somthing fun and intersting

Yikes, I wish I could help, I don't think my work will be doing any hiring until next year though

I've tried to hook people up with jobs but haven't been able to help anyone yet.

jaybug · « **Reply #11 on:** May 21, 2008, 08:47:05 pm »

Do we have any word if the Pi-man got a new job?

pieisexactlythree · « **Reply #12 on:** May 22, 2008, 11:38:51 pm »

Nope, none yet. It's only been three weeks though. Right now, I'm relaxing in California for Fanime.

If I got laid off I'd travel to go see anime conventions, hope it is fun.

Well, I do get unemployment, my previous employer gave me a few thousand in severance - but not over nine thousand

and I have enough savings to live for a very long time. It does up the anxiety level though. Fortunately, prozac is cheap!

jaybug · « **Reply #16 on:** May 25, 2008, 02:15:37 pm »

So, no job yet then huh? darn, to not have to work during Rose fest, bummer.

jaybug · « **Reply #18 on:** May 26, 2008, 04:07:02 pm »

Not if you get a job selling Zim-wear! But that would be very interesting if you wore Zim-wear to psych job interviews!

I'm sure pie might have some more recient advice, but Jaz if I were you I'd be tweaking the resume with more bling and checking oregonlive / craigslist etc for places to send/fax/email resume to.
