Laid Off

[@VK_BeautifulLife]

As a techie I lost my job 3 months ago along with 200 others in my company. We got severance package for few months. I started preparing within a week once the shock came down a bit & completed one certification. Applied to many jobs through multiple portals like LinkedIn, Monster, Naukri etc. Initial few interviews were flop but once I got hang of it, I learnt my mistakes & did better. 1.5 month after my layoff I landed a good job again. To all those laid off, don't lose hope & don't take things personally. Move on & focus on self improvement. Dear Shraddha, your writing as usual top notch. Very clever & witty yet relatable to the common man. You are indeed a gem!
