If it helps
Just now I signed and returned the contract for my next job, which I happened upon only because I dared to answer an obscure management question during an IT seminar. After just one phone call and one face-to-face interview I've landed a promotion to a totally new role for which I have no prior experience, all during a global recession. It starts the day after I leave my current job, which means my (substantial) redundancy payout can now be repurposed for more interesting things instead of the financial buffer between jobs it would have otherwise become. All in all, woo, yay and houpla.

If that isn't lucky, I don't know what is. Hopefully some of that pixie dust rubs off on you too :-)

To everyone who hasn't yet found a job after being laid off, I'm sorry if it sounds like I'm bragging but I can't quite believe my luck. Keep your chins up and persevere, sometimes fortune smiles on the brave. Dunkirk spirit and all that.

Well done and Woo!
Sounds like you've had a bit of a touch there.
