Last night I sent an e-mail out to about 300 people with my new contact information. About 20 bounced back, most from others who were in a similar situation I suppose. I told Tanya that I could name a half dozen or so people who had been laid off and everyone that I know could also. The problem is that no one talks. I wanted to blast everyone that I had worked with and let them know in case someone knew someone or something.
The results were that I ended up with a couple of leads and a number of good wishes. Err on the side of openness. Secrecy yields few benefits, ask Nixon.
So I spent today working on a project for a client and e-mailing with another and setting up meetings with others who could help me.
