Sankey chart for my unemployment job search - 1 month
You all at r/jobs were so very kind to me when I posted about being a part of a mass layoff at my previous company. I thought I might swing in with an update and say that after almost exactly a month of unemployment (July 20th to August 19th), I started my new job today.
I created a Sankey chart with my job search stats just in case it might be helpful for anyone to reference. I know that I’m fortunate to be in the position I’m in, and along with my hard work and tenacity in the hunt, I can acknowledge that it was lucky that a company took an interest in my employment so quickly.
If you got laid off, I’m sorry. I feel your pain. It’s scary and difficult, especially when you don’t know how long you’re going to be out of a job. Please keep working hard and getting those applications in, even when it feels discouraging. Happy to answer any questions through comment or DMs as they come through.
Thank y’all again for being so supportive. We’re all in it together.
