Laid off again

3 replies

I'm am so fed up. I work in a really volatile industry _ a niche branch of financial sales. Basic salary usually around 30k with unlimited commission payments to give you an idea. I was laid off due to the changing economy first week of Jan and was luck enough to start a new role mid Jan. Yesterday I was told due to the changing landscape they can keep me on. The owner is probably not going to be able to keep going after the end of the month.

This was a dream role for me and working with someone very respected in the industry. I also have a high profile in the industry and I am mortified to be looking for work again. I need to change my LinkedIn to say job seeking but I don't know how to answer the question as to why. I want to respect my employers privacy so I can't say financial difficulty or he is winding the business up, but I don't want it to look like I was bad at my job or we didn't get in. Any ideas as to how to phrase it and any industries that are sales related but not being attacked by the govt at the minute?

Thank you, that's really helpful. I might wait till after the weekend as I am so pissed off. A colleague that was laid off in January at the same time called me today so happy that they had got a new job. I was pleased for them but it was difficult.
