You're at home, talking to your friends and family about the circumstances surrounding your layoff. But, would that be the same story you'd tell to a recruiter or a potential employer in an interview?
When an employer-type person gets you engaged in talking about your "transition," it might be easy to fall into casual blaming or resentment. How do you stay positive and keep your confidence in the interview? Take a look at what's recommended for explaining your layoff and landing a job.
Also, a clever way to break the news about your layoff to friends, family, and perhaps the reruiter you know personally, is to send them a NoJobSurvivor postcard!

Workers in BMW's auto plants in Germany make twice as much as US workers in BMW plants who make $15 an hour. Oh and by the way German workers get 35 days of vacation AND decent healthcare.
The tea party want to abolish the minimum wage. Did YOU VOTE?
