    Feeling Miscellaneous Thinking

    I was laid off in March after a strong performance, receiving my full bonus. It's been over five months now, and I'm still on the hunt for my next job. During interviews, I've been upfront about my layoff, but I've received mixed advice. Some suggest I shouldn't mention it at all and act as if I'm still employed, while others say honesty is the best policy. I'm really torn on how to approach this in interviews. Has anyone else faced this dilemma? How did you handle discussing a layoff? I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences.

    Applied to a Job Feeling Planning Thinking

    I was laid off from AT&T in February 2026, where I worked as an IT solutions architect. Since then, I've been actively applying for jobs but have faced numerous rejections despite having all my active certifications, a BS in computer sciences, and an MBA in information systems management. With nearly 12 years of experience in my field, it's disheartening not to secure a position. I've noticed that the job market is quite tough right now, with fewer openings and a high number of applicants for each role. I'm holding onto hope that the situation will improve. In the meantime, I'm considering driving for Uber to make ends meet while I continue my job search. Wish me luck!
