Eliane Boucher, a single mother from Cranston, Rhode Island, faced a challenging job market after being laid off from her senior director position. With limited opportunities in her field due to industry downturns, she expanded her search to include various roles. Understanding the financial strain on her single-income household, she prioritized immediate employment for stability. Boucher eventually accepted a part-time seasonal position at a beloved outdoor retail shop, finding the experience refreshing and beneficial for her mental health, especially compared to the isolating job search she endured during unemployment.
After losing my senior position, I realized that a lack of jobs in the tech sector forced me to think creatively about my next career move.
