    Feeling Planning Thinking

    I had my first interview for a marketing position last Friday, and I'm feeling a bit anxious about the next steps. I'm considering sending a follow-up email this week to inquire about the status of my application and whether they are moving forward with me. I want to express my gratitude for the opportunity, but I'm unsure of the best way to phrase my follow-up. I've heard mixed opinions on whether it's necessary to reach out, but I think a thank you email could be a good idea if I can find the right contacts. Any advice on how to approach this would be greatly appreciated!

    Applied to a Job Feeling Miscellaneous Thinking

    I was laid off in January from my position at a company where I felt secure. They handed me a letter stating that there was no more work for my role, expressing appreciation for my contributions and mentioning they would update me if the position became available again. However, I later discovered they hired someone else for my position without informing me that my role was at risk. They posted a different job on LinkedIn for another department, but nothing about my role. My contract had a three strikes policy, and I was never given a warning or a sit-down discussion about my performance. I felt completely blindsided by the whole situation. Since then, I've been actively job searching, applying to over ten positions a week, but with no success. I'm considering whether it's worth it to consult a lawyer about my situation, even though I know many say that what they did was legal, albeit morally questionable.
