About The Layoff Beard
The Layoff Beard began in May 2009 after my position at a software company was eliminated. It was replaced with an ethereal migrant worker who was able to perform the same tasks at a fraction of the price, caffeine, and racial epithets.
Unlike many other blogs I’ve started and failed to maintain, it’s finally time to be honest and admit I will cease publication of this blog the minute I find meaningful, unfettered employment.
So if you hate this blog and would like to kill it on sight, then here’s a tech resume. Here’s a writing resume. Here’s one for those seeking a full time sandwich sous chef. Here’s my kakuroist resume. Now, this one’s blank, but if you write fantastic things about me, hit yourself in the head with a sledgehammer, then read it, I think you’ll be quite impressed at my qualifications and would become a tremendous asset to your company.
My name’s Matt Sussman. I’d like to spew brilliance around here for as little time as possible.

Matt,
Just recently stumbled across your site, via twitter, as somehow we have ended up following each other….at least I follow you, not sure if you follow me, I’m babbling, alas.
I feel your pain, I was laid off last year from my position as a Quality Engineer in the automotive industry. So now in addition to looking for full-time work and picking up whatever temporary work I can get my grubby little hands on, I write about the Detroit Tigers for the Fanball network.
Writing has long been the one thing I felt I was actually suited for, now if only the global economic system would shift to a place where I (and you) could be adequately compensated for these efforts.
Good luck in your search, keep the fire burning.
Be Well,
John
