I don’t think you need to hide it. It can come to your advantage because the recruiters see you as an immediate joiner.

You don't need to divulge it openly either. They might not expedite your process as you are available. They would give preference to other candidates first and then circle back to you. 
  
 Also, might lowball you on salary.  
  
 Bring it up only if required.

But what if you were sensing an imminent layoff and you resigned before they asked you.. to leave.how would you explain that and why you wanna join immediately

I laid off last week and getting call for interview . They ask me notice period. 
Should I tell them that I am immediate joinee and tell the reason as laid off?
Will it make negative impact for inital screening?

My preferable answers will be from HR or person who laid off in past

Got laid off today after asking for appraisal for 2 months.

Got impacted in a layoff in Jan. Found a job in 3 months and took up whatever I got.
Now I wish to move from here, because of stability, layoffs happening here also, I haven't been impacted yet. A very small company.

Do I indicate my layoff in my resume by quoting Layoff or let them figure it out by the work period gap?

Hey Folks I got recently impacted by layoff.I have experience in Analytics in ML. Need some guidance on how to leverage online platform more effectively for job search. My current actions are follows:-
1. Naukri : Should I kept it as service notice period or shall I put that I am current available to join in 15 days?
2. Linkedin : I am reaching out to post openings less than 24 hours using hashtags like #openings #analytics #immediate joiners 
My Profile : 8 YOE( relevant to ML 5 YOE)

Background,
I got laid off from an organisation and by god's grace I had a offer, which was not that good 10% decrement in salary, but me being a scared person joined the company.

Now 1 month after I realised I can do much better and market seems to open up.

What should I tell the HR in 2 scenarios.

1. I had already started Interviewing and haven't mentioned that I was layed off. What should I tell if I get selected? 

2. If a opportunity comes to start Interviewing for seperate company, should I mention about ty current company or no?

PS. The work in current organisation is not that good and it's a contractual role.

Need advice on what to say to HR of new company .

When looking for better opportunities post accepting an offer, is it good to tell recruiters that you are on a notice period when asked? 

Do recruiters consider good or bad? And how to reason why still looking for opportunities?

Is it good to tell recruiters that you are on a notice period?

Hello, i was recently asked to resign from my job with no notice period. What should i be saying and explain this in my interviews?

What is the best way to focus on job search after layoff

My contract was terminated last month citing restructuring.
Honestly, I saw it coming but wasn't expecting it would hit like this

I tried keeping my mind distracted, but now it has started to sink

I live with parents and they aren't saying anything (they were feeding me before and still are, no change for them)

I have had thoughts of ending all this, but do not have the courage. What if it ends halfway and I am redundant my whole life?

Credit card bills are coming through now and being 42% of my ex-salary wasn't something I was prepared for. I thought I was a sane spender.

How did you tackle being laid off?

Keep looking around, apply and eventually you're bound to get a good job I promise you. Just treat it as a numbers game. Ask your parents help with the credit card bills if you don't have enough corpus, there is no shame in that. You can give the money back to them when you're in a better position. 
  
 You're a nice person from what I know of you in this platform, you got this sis! Ending it all is not a good option for the people who care about you, and you're probably gonna look back later and smile and be glad for making it through

I am an ML engineer working in a startup.

My current situation is horrible,I am constantly stressed about getting laid-off(My performance is good,I got promoted a month ago). I came to know that my company will probably lay people off this month,since they are unable to meet targets.

Now,I got rejected in four interviews.
There is a lot to learn and revise.
Stats and probability.
Machine learning algos.
Deep learning architectures(got rejected because I was unable to explain the architecture of a complex model in detail).
DSA(got rejected twice in this round).
SQL (got rejected once since I was unable to solve the SQL problem).
ML ops(some recruiters ask this as well).

With the added pressure of getting laid off,my whole life is turned upside down.I am unable to focus.
Every meeting or discussion I attend I feel like people are evaluating me.( This was not the case before).
I don't know what to do.
It would really help,if you guys share your interview experiences below.

Hi folks,

I got laid off today from a YC-backed startup (W23) citing a shift in product focus. Was part of the core team since Oct '21, initially as an intern then later converted to FTE in '22. Got a decent (30%+) increment this year. I was leading the mobile platform but currently, I'm on a notice period. CTO is supportive and helping me via their network.

I'm a recent graduate and this is my first time experiencing a layoff. What should I do now? What things should I keep in mind looking for the next opportunity? 

Also, if you are hiring and looking for a full-stack engineer, do reach out via https://t.me/GrimBeard75

How the HRs react if you tell them you were laid off, please share your experience?

Also, what other reason we can give for looking out for change in less than 5 months?

Do you folks tell about layoff to HRs

I was laid off in February. Finally after 2.5 months of boring interviews and life, landed a job. Today was Day 1. 
I was outside India for a while doing crazy stuffs. I returned in June and then started applying. Here is the summary. 
1. Lots of applicants in the job market. Every job would attract 1000s of applicants 
2. Most jobs require high experience - 5+ 
3. Applying and finding companies who are hiring is tough. 
4. Emailed everyone in network, took referrals from all friends, took referrals from LinkedIn (very low response), Applied on instahyre, Wrote to startup founders, applied Wellfound, Workday(worst of all), Naukri 
5. Startups are the worst - gave petty assignments and ghosted after getting solution. Had to follow up multiple times but to no avail. They ate my whole 1 month
6. Some interviews were different - in one I had to code in python very fast. That's it. Wasn't selected as I was looking up for syntax on internet. 
7. Overall it was a very boring and tiring process. I somehow maintained my sanity. 

YoE- 2
TC- 29L ( Base +PF)

Laid off in Feb. Landed a job now.

Tough time never last but tough people do  
 Great 🔥

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

One of my close friends is not liking the work in the current company due to the terrible WLB. He is planning to switch to a new company but doesn't want to show this current company experience of 3+ months. Have you ever come across such a situation? What's the best thing to do? If he reveals to the new employer then it won't be good on his resume because the company previous to the current one laid off 50% of employees and unfortunately he got affected too in that layoffs. So, due to tough market conditions he has joined a startup and realised that he can't sustain here for long.

Please guide if it's alright not to put the last 3 months experience in the resume and apply for new jobs.
