Thread regarding Devon Energy Corp. layoffs

Watch out for Recruiters and the Media

Please be aware of the recruitment agencies, media and financial agencies that want to try and gain new business from the recent layoffs around OKC. I was with a large Oklahoma City company that closed and we they heard about the closure they were all over the parking lots with cameras. It is bad enough to lose a job and really tough when someone is taking pictures of you walking with a box away from the building or wanting to get your opinion on "how you feel." Unfortunately in my 40+ years i have not experienced a quality or effective outplacement service that always seems to be offered during a layoff. Your best action is to file for your eligible unemployment, take some time to digest all of the information, work on your resume and start to network. I have never had a recruiter find me a quality opportunity-they always failed and I was the one to do the work and find what I was seeking.

Roger, Devon let me go just before Thanksgiving. I purposely took the Holidays off, because I figured no one was in a hiring mood over the end of year Holidays. January 4th, I posted my resume on a popular job website and got three interviews that week. Got TWO job offers a week after that. Recruiters were involved in the process. Recruiters can be a pain in the a$$ when you're not looking for a job, but they are helpful when you are looking for one. Best wishes to everyone.
