Re: Have you ever been laid off?
Ask a lot of questions and write down the answers. Don't burn your bridges, NETWORK with everyone you know (or don't know) at your present company before you leave. They may know of other companies looking for employees. You have your youth going for you - at least you don't have 25 years of time invested in the company like I did when I got laid off - and I lost a lot of money invested that the company was supposed to match, too. It was a huge financial setback for me that I am still not recovered from, 4 years later.
Ask a lot of questions of your potential new employer, too, and don't just jump into something because you're desperate for work. Make sure it's a good fit and you can afford the benefits, the commute is OK, the working hours are OK with your lifestyle, etc.
