If you've been laid off and your former employer is hiring again, it's important to consider whether returning is a good idea—and whether the skills you bring are what the company needs now.
Job hunters might have less leverage today than they did a few years ago, but that doesn't mean there's no room to negotiate salary in a job offer. Here's how.
In December 2008, we launched the Laid Off and Looking blog as a way for WSJ readers and job seekers to learn firsthand about how rising unemployment was affecting Americans. We asked 29 laid off professionals with M.B.A. degrees to share what it was like for them to deal with suddenly becoming unemployed and having to search for a new job. Initially, we focused on those who had been let go from positions in finance and real estate. Then, as unemployment began to spread to other sectors, we recruited additional bloggers to weigh in on their own stories. Of our original eight bloggers, six have found permanent employment, while two have continued to take on long-term consulting assignments.
