NEVER IN 100 YEARS OF MY LIFE I would imagine being in this spot!! 😫 Being laid off really makes me feel lost and panicky, man! The job hunt is killing me! I’m one of the victims in this wave of recent layoff by you know which company lah! It's all over the news what. Can't handle the mental stress anymore. Bills are piling up, and the uncertainty just won’t leave my mind. Super hard to stay positive when you see your friends still holding onto their jobs, but you're suddenly jobless 😥

I've been in your spot before and i know how hard it is!! What i did was i immediately find odd jobs just to make sure i still have food on the table and able to pay off important bills. I became packer at supermarkets, did food deliver for a while and some freelancing on top of actively looking for a job. Don't worry! You'll get over this! I'm now back to working FT with a new company and BETTER too!

I have been unemployed for 1.5 years through a retrenchment and applied for so many jobs but no response. May be my age is the reason. At 54 nobody wants to hire me….

Getting laid off is like the ground just got pulled from under you. I went through it once too, and honestly, the mental stress is no joke. But hang in there, alright? Take a breather when you need to, and don’t be toohard on yourself. Jia you!

Been there, done that. The key is to find a job that pays reasonably well, but remember not to get emotionally attached to temporary work. It’s just a job with colleagues who won’t necessarily be in your life long-term. Start and finish your work, then go home and focus on your real priorities and the job you truly want.

Tbh there’s not much you can do now on an individual lvl, there are external factors at play and it’s no fault of those affected. I think to have mental resilience is very important. It can be daunting to go back into job applications anf feerlin hopeful for each submission you going to make. Hang in there! Eventually something good will click.

Sorry to hear that. It’s unthinkable that one can be laid off. I thought the market is doing okay since many company go for freeze hiring. If you've got time, consider it an opportunity and focus on getting certifications
