that sucks man, I knew you were so stoked when you got that job.


I'm glad I'm in College and not gonna worry real hard about the economy until I graduate, but it really is making it more difficult for me to find an internship too

not much to say but...that sucks! and sorry!

but if it makes you feel any better, i'm sure letting you go was difficult for them to do and was not a choice but more by force of financial factors.
i bet they would be happy to write you a good recommendation. that might help to have for future interviews.

good luck.

Sorry to hear man, I was laid off back in November, and (not to sound like a downer) it's been real tough trying to get another job.

Yeah, Obama's month in office is to blame for Panda losing his job.
Couldn't be Bush's 8 years... noooo.

Sorry to hear about your situation man. I think with your experience you should be able to find something else. Good luck!

Sorry to hear that Panda - but I'm sure you'll get picked up again - gals love pandas in the office

Have you submitted your resume on the headhunter websites yet? With your skillz you should get some, if not alot of, bites

ur good cheng. at least ur not working for that lady u hated a few years back.

and u have a degree. u have an edge on the HS diploma suckers like me.

start looking ! for anything ! doesnt have to necessarily have to be in insurance,
just till things get better - than u can get back to ur field.

(maybe even re-apply at your existing job)

if you need to use me as a reference bro.. dont hesitate.
