Default layoffs again!! need to find another job in OC

Just got the notice today, I'm getting laid off in 2wks. I was last in and now first out, layoffs are starting to happen again. Econony taking another dive in CA.

I have over 12 yrs in electrical design of commercial/medical/educational buildings. Anyone hiring in an MEP or E office in OC, Phoenix or Vegas?

thanks,
jc

The architectural firm I'm stationed at just laid off 4 of their design staff due to lack of big projects for 2012. The educational funding cuts hit the educational/arts architecture field pretty hard.

Deja Vu! (Can anyone say,
"Anyone hiring around Orange County, the sequel" )

Jk...

On a serious note, long time no see JC. Sorry to hear about your situation. I just went through this a few years back. Good luck landing a new job.

Educational is taking a big hit here in CA, LACCD alone has a moratorium on any new construction.

I thought the same thing...

thanks, I survived 2 layoffs at my last job and I left that one for the one I have now expecting that they were more stable but it did not turn out that way.
