How I survived my layoff

Yes, layoffs in media are a sad reality these days. But many of our colleagues have used them to move on to exciting new careers. Let Catharine Tunnacliffe, Jeremy Barker and Lindsey Wiebe inspire you with their personal career stories. And then stay for pub night.

Catharine Tunnacliffe took her departure from the Toronto Star as a time to reevaluate her values and strengths as she sought out a new career path. Find out what she's been up to, and why. Hint: home delivery is still involved

Jeremy Barker was once the social media editor at The National Post. He’s now employed at Jumpwire Media as a social media platform specialist, where he works with media companies on social and digital content strategies. He says the word Facebook a lot these days.

Lindsey Wiebe was an online editor and social media superstar when she was laid off from the Winnipeg Free Press. After being laid off she moved to Toronto where she’s now the associate web editor at Maclean's.

Note: Handlebar is ours from 6:45-9 pm (but we’re welcome to stay for trivia night). Talk will begin at 7 pm in the backroom.
