This starts the first day of my new work life. I have been making contacts and actually found a couple of things in oil and gas. It is going to be tough until the prices turn around, but it will not be impossible.
If I could give some advice to those of you that stayed. The first would be to work hard, and make your job count. Be the first to take on new responsibilities and try new things. The second would be to stay off these Web Sites, and not get involved with rumors. You made it through the first layoff, so good for you. If you stick around these Web Sites it just makes you cynical.
I wish you all the best and good luck on your job hunt, and for those that stayed keep the working hard. Make every day you come to work, because it can end in a blink of the eye.
