(Black Enterprise) — It’s the call no employee wants to get, and Ty DeLavallade remembers it like it was yesterday. “It was shocking,” says the former McGraw-Hill academic sales representative, about the unexpected layoff. The then-Maryland resident—one of the leading educational sales reps in his region—began looking for a new job within his field of expertise. Ten to 12 interviews and several months later, DeLavallade relocated to Orlando, Florida, in hopes the job market there would be more inviting. Although he discovered otherwise, he remained dedicated to his job search until an evening meal at a sushi restaurant in the city made him rethink his decision.
