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.

Of our original eight bloggers, six have found permanent employment, while two have continued to take on long-term consulting assignments.
