Sorry to hear TN. I know my company over the course of the last year has laid off prob 50% of the staff we had. Its a crappy thing to do, especially at the holidays. You'll find something though.

Man, that's really bad news.

I was made redundant this time last year, but managed to find another job in January, so I wish you all the best.

No time is good to lose your job, but it especially sucks at Christmas

I'm in the aerospace/aircraft industry and I can tell you it's in the pits. I'm hoping to ride out the wave until mid 2010... then .

I would try www.coroflot.com for anything in graphic or product design. Be sure to have a good portfolio together before contacting anyone.

You may also want to send a sample book of before and after work to the art directors of all the major car mags, as well as Brenda Priddy and Assoc. They are always doing speculation work of new cars over spy shots, which is where you seem to have some talent. May be freelance, but its still $$$$

Good luck.

Sorry brother.

I just got laid off too, today was my last day.

California sucks sometimes.

However, I find that craigslist.org and hotjobs.com is my best friend!
