So I got laid off after 2 months, should I apply to new grad roles with my old resume as if I'm a new grad still, or apply with my updated resume. Obviously I was onboarding for most of the time so I didn't do much outside of improving our testing infrastructure and some schema changes. Any advice for someone in my situation? I really loved working in tech and this feels like a huge blow, I want to bounce back ASAP. #layoff #newgrad
From snap? And yes apply as new grad
Sorry that sucks. Snap must be a circus
Don’t be rude. Circuses generally run better and are profitable.
I say apply with an updated resume. Make sure the timespan of your Snap stint is clear and that it was a layoff. Recent joiners are typical targets of a layoff, so that will be accurately read as bad luck. This communicates two things: you’re able to clear interviews at a well-known company, and you have no fault on being laid off because you were a recent joiner. My 2 cents.
No
Wow sucks they did that to you. Evan Spiegel seems like a total idiot. Good luck on your job hunt
What will you do if you were at Spiegel s position when your company performance and stock price are going like shit ?
I would have had more foresight of my company’s finances and capabilities than to spin up an organization and axe it later in the year.
Is snap layoffs still going on?
Around 170 people going to be terminated with mostly from AR division. Closing ARES (AR Enterprise) project around 6 months after it started.
write that it’s still your current role and then when they ask what makes you look for a new role explain the layoff
that’s what I’ve been doing
They will question why hes looking to leave only after 2 months
Add and use RIF
Remember, the less details the better. Absolutely no one cares if you were there for 1 month or 1 year. You worked at Snapchat in 2023 and that’s all you should put, Snapchat 2023. Then talk about what you did and IF ASKED why a new job, say you were laid off.
