Laid off. Should I look for a new job even though I'm applying R1? [#permalink] New post  04 Jun 2018, 18:39
Was recently laid off and need a new job. I am applying round 1, but I'm also looking for a new job. I am applying some out of state, so telling the employer so wouldn't help me. But what if I get accepted and potentially only work at my new firm for 1.5 years? How can I handle this situation?

That'd be far better than applying while being out of job so definitely go for it.

Read here and here for more on how to manage these.

Hi tonyjyoo,

Thanks for posting your query.

You must definitely look for a job as being unemployed while applying is not perceived well. Of course, this entire period needs to presented in a way that projects your learning from the episode, how you reacted to the adversity and emerged out of it.

Hope this helped.

All the best!
