I was a part of the US layoffs and had my last day at Cargill on December 5th and was very angry and sad about losing my job. I really liked my team at Cargill but the work was uninspired and monotonous. Grateful to say that, after 80+ job applications and 3.5 months of searching, a recruiter called me about a genuinely exciting opportunity on a Thursday and I had a new job by the following Wednesday.
So, whether you were already impacted by layoffs or are worried about more to come, know that there is plenty of hope even in a difficult market.
