Laid off by Meta, HR staffer lands new job in 3 months. She explains how

Hindustan Times  

An HR professional who is among 11,000 employees laid off by Meta in November last year, has announced she has already found a new job. Lorena Diaz Alvarez, who says she joined the tech giant just nine months prior to being laid off, revealed in a LinkedIn post she will join her new workplace on March 15, a day after her stint at Meta officially concludes. A recruiter usually speaks with many candidates x weeks and we tend to forget the amount of time that a candidate spends to prepare for that conversation, the anxiety, the uncertainty, and the self-doubt behind a job seeker,” she wrote in her LinkedIn post. So, how was she able to find a new job in just three months since Meta layoff?
