Thread regarding Oracle Corp. layoffs

To all those who have been let go, there is definitely something better out for you.

  1. Check with your friends in the industry what skills are expected for your level of experience. Connect with them. Don't be shy. People are generally much more helpful that you assume.

  2. Brush up on those skills.

  3. Try attending as many interviews as you can. If you are not able to answer any question in the interview, go back home and read up. The next time you will rock that question!

  4. Once you attend around 8-10 interviews you will have a fair idea of what is expected out of you in the job market. Don't lose heart. You are almost there.

  5. With regular studying, working on your skills and connecting with recruiters/friends you should land a job soon. It's just a matter of time. Work your a-- off.

I was RIFed a few months back. I worked my a-- off - reading, practising, connecting and finally had 5 job offers in 2 months. It's just a matter of time. You will definitely have something much much better than Oracle. I'm writing this in the hope that atleast 1 person will be motivated.

Best of Luck!

Go geddem tigers! bag those jobs!!! Am so happy to be on the other side of the layoff fence, finally! People on the ORCL side don't understand, it's a liberating experience. You have to get it to feel it. It's not just that "there is life beyond oracle", I'm getting the feeling that "life IS beyond oracle"!!! Get laid off, yo! Rise and grind! Brush up, interview, brush up, interview. Take up the challenge! Get ur a $$e$ off that goddarn comfort zone! Bring it on, yo! All the best!!! Am with you till u feel it.
