[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Spouse was breadwinner and laid off two months ago. Spends time every morning job hunting, applying. Two first round interviews and nothing further. He has contacted every networking contact he can think of. He has severance for now but will end soon. Have emergency savings to last awhile, but cannot afford our mortgage for more than a year on single income and will really burn savings in the process. We have two kids. I am just being positive and encouraging with my spouse, but privately, I worry. I know he does too. Suggestions, words of wisdom? [/quote] A lot of resumes are being filtered by AI, so any tips he can get on that front would be helpful. Apply far and wide and to locations that are not ideal and in office. The job market is bad everywhere and it’s worse in the DMV area right now, so pickiness will not help. Can he do contract work? What about your connections, OP? [/quote]
