Work with the hiring manager to demonstrate your skills. In my career, I was laid off from my job a total of 6 times in 30 years. At one point, I was laid off 3 times in 5 years. All but one of these layoffs happened during downturns in the economy and/or the company being sold. Make note – if your company is being acquired, polish your resume. The final layoff happened because the company needed to downsize because of a lack of work.
