Layoffs sting no matter what the circumstances, they just do.
Remember the best way to get out of a jam is any way you can.
When layoffs happen, there' s no way of knowing whether or not to take it personally. So don't.
Because it isn't personal - it's just the company thrashing around trying to save itself.
If you want to make a self-assessment, don't include being laid off, you'll feel miserable.
Use constructive metrics such as how are you doing with the hard skills needed for your next successful job!
