Today I was told that there's going to be layoffs tomorrow. I have to go in early to help shutdown accounts.

I hope the people I'm cool with are spared.

Question, so I interviewed for four different positions with this company..I am interested in getting the name on my resume. 3rd hiring manager, already contacted me within an hour of the interview because he wants me on his team BUT the only reason I want the position is to get the company on my name.

The first two positions is what I would prefer. As a matter of fact I would gladly change locations to move to but this one I am not particularly interested in.

What's the question? :skip:

See if u get an offer from the other two, first. Worst case scenario; accept the position you don't want, and transfer to another team when ur eligible.

8 people were laid off. 6 in customer service, a senior recruiter, and the receptionist.

I think I should bail out, but I don't have the skills for the type of job that I really want.

Do a lateral move at a minimum. No need to stay at an obvious sinking ship.

Federal is about hitting check marks.
Again give yourself a leg up by getting used to DoD 8570
DoD Approved 8570 Baseline Certifications

You get your Sec+ or usually if they like you they'll bring you in and give you 6 months to get it, but try to get certs that fill out the most boxes. This makes your very attractive for Civilian and Contractor positions in the federal scape.

That said good luck to you moving forward man, if you have any questions let me know and I'll post on here or pm you if you want ot be in private.
