I truly feel that InlandNet helped me by "being there" - supporting me by having informative meetings, keeping me positive as well as stressing to be persistent during the transition. I stayed in touch with my former supervisor which may have paid off; I was the first one he contacted when they called back some of the employees.
So, maybe the lesson to learn here is to stay in touch with former employers; you never know when they may need your skills again! Good luck to all.
