This really *****.

I have never been laid off or unemployed

I used to work for Marsh USA until eliot spitzer's lawsuit drove our industry upside down.

I really didnt need this.

So sorry! What happened with the job from your old boss on Long Island? Hopefully you'll get something better and closer to home!

I'm so sorry to hear that..... but when one door closes another one opens.

I'm going through my second lay off and from experience I say take the time to relax for a week or two or three. Take some time to chill, regroup and figure out what you want to do next.

Re: Alright. So I just got laid off

dumb question.. but why wait.

My resume is updated. I'm getting it out there. In my industry it takes forever to get a job!!

13 interviews and a year of searching for THIS job!!

no time to lose

Gonna tug that line tomorrow

problem I have is I will never find something at the salary I make without a college degree. I admit I dont make industry standard but 50k was respectable. Can't make that in the island
