Description:	Millions of GOOD people have been or will be laid off as the economy worsens. I joined their ranks. On December 5th, 2008, I was laid off from my project management position. I had been employed for 8.5 years by a high-tech company that has its corporate offices located in Round Rock, Texas. As I look for another job, I will be writing about my experiences and provide some advice to those who are going through the same thing.
