Between Jobs: Fast Company’s New Pop-Up Newsletter For People Navigating Unemployment
Getting laid off or losing your job is one of the hardest, most disorienting blows you can experience—there’s no sugarcoating how devastating it feels. First comes the gut punch of initial shock, whether that leaves you raging, panicking, or completely numb. But all too soon, you’re thrown onto the exhausting, never-ending hamster wheel: filling out endless soul-sucking job applications, waiting for radio silence from recruiters, scrambling to send awkward cold outreach on LinkedIn, and riding regular waves of uncertainty that leave you questioning everything. It doesn’t take long to feel hopeless, isolated, adrift, angry, and completely out of ideas for what comes next.
