[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am sorry. When I was laid off it took me nine months to find a job. After numerous failed interviews, including several in the final round, eventually I got two offers in the same week. Keep at it and don’t give up. One thing I found is that some close contacts who I thought would have helped me did very little at all, while other people that I hadn’t spoken to in years went out of their way to get me interviews. The point is that you need to speak with everyone, not just your current contacts; you never know who is going to be truly helpful.[/quote] Your outer network is proven to be more helpful than close contacts. Get on meds if you need them and work on reaching out to those you don't know as well. They will likely be the most helpful. I bet you can find a new role through relationships and a referral from one of those people to a hiring manager. [/quote]
