My layoff journey
I recently posted about an offer I closed with a fantastic hike, some folks asked me to share my experience in this duration. Sharing a link of the doc, so that some of the steps which I took and got some offers can also help in your job hunt journey. Feel free to comment, I am open to share info which can help others. Google Doc link :https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-MZSeUt2XhBIp6oBubirud-ceSjxzLYRAhNrCv8tHvc/edit?usp=sharing
Congratulations man. What was your profile and yoe as it was not clear from the doc?
I feel YOE and my profile info was not useful to add in doc, I have 13YOE and I am from Customer Service operations.

Completely agreed Naukri FF is a scam
Great post @Beep - definitely will help calm down a laid off mind and get everything organised.
We need more such posts to make GV more incredible.
@Beep you may not know but you're a social worker too. Amazing doc. I'm sure it's gonna help a lot of people sail through tough times. Bookmarking the link just in case.

Great read @Beep , thanks for writing
@Beep Congrats 👏, these posts make this platform wonderful. Genuine and practical knowledge sharing
Congratulations man, really appreciate your efforts to put this in a doc.
I used Linkedin search string “hiring” AND “Title/role”, found posts from hiring managers and reached out to them via InMail. That company was also open to sponsor, you will have to find it according to ur needs, there are lot of EU countries where they are inviting people from other countries due to shortage of Tech/skilled people.
Keeping these things limited as of now, hope you understand the confidentiality part which employers enforce.
@Beep Man, I am tired of handling rejection 😪
I layedoff 4,5 months ago and in my intial interview I didn't perform well because of lack of preparation but like In recent months I have improved my knowledge, like I have prepared leetcode q for SQL,etc and after giving so much time in prep I feel that I can win interview now, but I didn't understand why evertime there will be some new set of questions asked and some more advanced than my yoe like I am 1.5 yoe...
Even I have answering 70,80% correctly still getting the mails "we move forward with other candidates " It's so much now🫤
See if this doc helps in preparing the interviews, follow this guy for tech tips https://youtube.com/@ezsNippets?si=C774I6-zu1lRCI0h
Okay sure I am checking the document and I am aware of this youtuber thanks for sharing
Thanks a lot and I mean it more than ever, this will really help us all boosting our efforts in right direction.
