So I decided to poke my head in here after about three months.
I found out a few months ago that my job will probably be ending much sooner than I thought. Originally my boss thought my job might end at the end of this year when our contract with our biggest client ended. But at the end of last year, they cancelled the contract, so we lost them as a client a year before we thought.
My boss has been trying to scare up more business, so he hasn't decided yet if he's gonna lay me off soon or cut back on my hours/pay or what.
I haven't been handling this well. I've sorta' been paralyzed by anxiety and depression, so I haven't done much to look for a new job. I'm still revising my resume.
Anyway, I'm finally starting to get off my ass and start looking for a new job. Hopefully this will reduce my anxiety and depression.
Oh jeez, Tom. Sorry to hear you've been going through all that but I'm glad to see you resurface.
Good luck, Tom.
Woohoo for unexpected TSA pre check.
Tommy, welcome back! What kind of work do you do?
Oh no, Tom. That's a sucky position to be in. Good luck to you.
Oh, I've already talked about something they've done well! I was just trying to think about what's most useful for a person starting out in their career, like getting better at meeting facilitation, for example.
That's a good one, and often confidence in presenting themselves/their work.
Tommy, you've been missed, welcome back. All kinds of jobma to you.
Tommy, welcome back! What kind of work do you do?
Database programming. Mostly with MS Access front ends and MS SQL Server back ends. I've also done a lot of web application design, using Javascript, jQuery, XML, CSS and stuff like that.
Tom, would you feel comfortable saying what area you live in, roughly? There are a lot of us who could probably say something about the techie job market in our areas.
I'm sorry you have this worry. It sucks.
Not sure what's posted now but definitely check my company's site out (& let me know if anything is intriguing).
