What company are you being downsized from (you can email me privately if you want). I would suggest concentrating on your other skills and looking to other industries.

It seems that all of the communication companies are downsizing. We did also, in a sense. It's awful because I'm feeling like you really can't apply anywhere else (in the same field) until it's over to avoid that last hired, first fired mess.
