A lay-off hit

Well it happened yesterday. I was called my my recruiting firm to tell me my contract ended early due to budget cuts. Actually I think what happened was I was covering for someone who was on maternity leave and they came back and then the pandemic hit.

I knew it was coming or had a feeling and I have been through this many times as a contractor but it still isn’t fun.

I had been putting my resume out for a few weeks and have had several interviews so even during a pandemic companies are still interviewing, that’s the good news.

I know I’ll be alright. Been through worse. Take a deep breath and stay focused is all I could say to others who may be going through same thing. I’m going to take some time to update my portfolio. Then I hit the job boards hard. I’ll apply to at least 20 a day, it’s a numbers game.

I’m more concerned about keeping my kids on an even mental state. We walk at least once usually twice a day. My youngest has decided to take this time to learn to skateboard. I guess I could be working on my book too. There’s always something to do. May the odds be forever in your favor. Stay well!
