Sorry to hear that, I was laid off in 2010 and went full-time freelancing from that point so I know where you are coming from. Considering what I've been seeing in the market (Portland, OR at least) that seems to be the new modus operandi. Keep a small core unit and expand via freelancers when something significant comes along. I would look into local freelance clubs or media associations and see if that's happening in your area.

A good website to look at is http://www.freelanceswitch.com. It's mostly for webdevs, writers and graphic designers but has a lot of good information as well.

    Good luck to you!

P.S. I know Trish Meyer swears by this but I am having a heck of a time getting my brain into Quickbooks for managing my business. It's like my right hemisphere is rejecting the notion that I have to manage a business now.

so, after seeing it happen to many others, it is finally happening to me.  I just found out that I am losing my job on the 15th

If anybody knows of opportunities either fulltime or freelance, please let me know.  I would prefer to stay in Pennsylvania, but will consider anything.

Thank you
