GM, or General Motors, announced the layoff of 1,000 employees as part of a wider reorganization and cost-cutting initiative. This is often a difficult process for both the company and the employees affected. If you have been impacted by the layoffs, you may find the following resources helpful:
1. **Unemployment Benefits**: Look for information on how to apply for these benefits in your specific state or country. These can help steady your financial situation while you look for a new job.
2. **Career Counseling/Job Search Services**: Some companies provide outplacement help, including resume workshops, interview practice, and job fairs for those who have been laid off.
3. **Financial Advising**: This can be a stressful time financially, so see if you can find an advisor to help guide you through the process and make sure you’re making the right decisions.
4. **Support Groups**: There are numerous online communities of people going through the same situation. They can provide emotional support and practical job-hunting tips.
5. **Upskilling or Reskilling**: Use this time to learn new skills or enhance your existing skills. You can do this through online platforms like Coursera, Udemy, and Khan Academy.
These resources can provide a baseline of support, and often, people find new jobs that they may not have considered before a layoff.
