I got laid off in 1986. It seemed like my life had totally fallen apart. I evaluated my prospects of finding another job in Houston as being low since there were no jobs in the petroleum industry back then. My experience before working in the petroleum industry had been in electronics, so I moved to Phoenix where there were several electronics companies, and I eventually got a job back in that industry.

If you get laid off - don't give up. Another job will happen eventually. Some added education may be required.
