So today I found out that I am being laid off. I am stressing out over this because I have worked here for the past 5 years and now I need to relearn everything to do with job hunting. Going out for drinks later. That'll help me calm down but at the same time I should be saving my money.

On the plus side, the jobs market is at its tightest since before 2008. Statistically, you are more likely to find a job now than at any point in the past ten years.

Good luck. I know that "statistics" doesn't help all that much, but if you have the numbers on your side at least you aren't facing total opposition.

I know that I am going to find work again soon and I will be okay. I was just feeling a little overwhelmed yesterday and needed to vent.

Good luck with it! Found out last week that I am being made redundant from the place I have worked for 8 years. I'm actually really excited about the prospect of working somewhere else or doing some contracting in the short term. Plus more time to play golf until I find a new job, so there are definitely some positives.
