I'm glad you are so positive about it, but it still really sucks. Two years ago I was in the same situation - got laid off on Oct 30th. It was the first time for me that I didn't have something lined up already by the time the money ended so it was pretty tough mentally. Then Dec 24th my son Mike walks into the independent Porsche shop where he worked and they meet him at the door with "it's not working out, we need to let you go, give us your keys". It was pretty brutal.
Fortunately I learned through the County about a federal program that provided funds to help folks get training to help them get new jobs (Workforce Development Act). I was in computers, but didn't have any certifications. I ended up getting funded to go to classes for my MCSE and landed a job that I love before I managed to finish the training. Mike got a job with a Dodge dealership in March. I'm not making as much money, but I'm much happier and that is worth a lot. Enjoy the holidays and keep your chin up. It sounds like you've got what it takes to make it go. |
