[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell her that the average job search is 3-6 months and set her expectations accordingly. She should be applying to 10-20 jobs/week and networking 3-4 hours per week. Treat the job search like a job.[/quote] This is good advice. Also have a real talk about white collar work in the "no loyalty" era. This may keep happening over her career through no fault of her own.[/quote] This is true. Her Dad pointed this out to her. She pointed out that he's been working at the same co for 12 years! She'd planned on staying at her company for five years or longer. She's angry that her loyalty meant nothing! They gave her a huge raise last year and seemed to love her. And the layoff came out of nowhere. Is that how it's done now? She came into work one day and was told she's been laid off. [/quote]
