The Laid Off Toolkit delivers the best apps, sites, and resources that help job-seekers go from laid off to landing offers.
My Career Roadmap Maker
I am so excited about this Tool Kit, especially The Resume Game --> upload you resume, review someone else's resume and get feedback on your own. The game uses structured questions that recruiters look for when they review a resume like, "What role would I hire this person for?" to mitigate bias and provide direct and structured feedback. So helpful!

As someone entering the application pool again after almost 10 years away from tech, this is a really helpful tool to not only analyse your résumé but it gives me perspective on what to add in and how to show my work in the best light based on the positions I’m seeking out.
Great work, thanks for this collection of tools! I’m looking forward to using it more and hopefully I’ll be able to add to the hiring stats in the near future.
Ty!

@amy_jackson6 Amy, you're too humble! You're the one who turned took my idea from a hoard of links into a beautifully organized virtual toolkit. And this is just the MVP! You're an intuitive, patient, and creative product designer. Thank you for making all of our resources look so good. It helps more people want to use them, which means more people benefit. :-) Malinda's knowledge + JClay's app engineering + your design skills = a beautiful, valuable product!

Great idea! Any plans to add non-tech options?

@anastaska Most of it works for ANY industry! Ex: The Salary Toolkit is a roundup of salary calculators and negotiation guides that cover all industries, roles, and regions in the US (even startup equity). The interview, resume, and professional networking sections will also definitely be helpful for everyone. Thanks for writing in though, because we do want to be accessible and continue to enhance the value of the toolkit. :-)
