Laid Off

Posted by spencer in Concerning the Professional, DC, Graphic Design, News

I normally don’t post my personal/professional life to this blog, but I figured I’d give it a shot.

I just got laid off today due to workforce realignment/restructuring. My office laid off 20% of their staff – 4 people including me. Honestly, I’m not really upset, more relieved. Now I don’t have to worry if I will get laid off or not. Though, I now have to find a new job.

So, does anyone know of any opportunities in the DC area? My resume is on here. I’d be interested in anything architectural, graphic design, urban planning, or IT.

    Offhand, no. Hell, I’m looking for myself and I haven’t really found anything either.

Reminding you that we wanted to have a 3-way phone call, you, me and Roberta about website work. Maybe you can earn from this?
