Can you guess who it is?  
#NeverGiveUp 

Can you imagine submitting over 1,000 resumes over 11 months? That is over 100 job applications!

Jennifer and Jigna talk with Todd Lucas, in episode 2 of #LaidOff Life, who did submit over 1,000 resumes! Todd shares the hard truth about job searching during the pandemic. Those out there who are job searching and in a laid-off life state, you probably can relate to much of what Todd discusses.  We hope you will find that you are not alone on this harrowing journey to find employment and learn a few things from Todd's experiences. 

Since this episode recording, we are pleased to announce that Todd did receive an employment offer and is working!
