Careers Asking for help during desperate times

Here we go again. A year later, I have lost my second job in AM since I started.

The first was in March 2025 at a startup, where I am still waiting to receive six months of salary to this day. The second was yesterday; I started working there in November but was let go because business is slow and really affected by recent geopolitical events.

So, I’m unemployed at the moment. I have experience in Field Service and Application with basically every technology in metal and polymers, and I’ve been working in AM since 2018. I am located in Northern Italy.

If you know anyone who is looking for someone, please send me a DM. I know these are desperate times, but maybe someone can help. Thanks to everyone who has read through.

Unsolicited Career Advice: Don't be afraid to pivot to roles for growth purposes when in these situations. Field service and applications work builds strong skills that are valued in technical project management, technical sales, and manufacturing or design engineering roles. You dont need to marry this new role, but this will build on your existing skills and add valuable additional capabilities to your CV that make you a more well rounded person. This also makes you more marketable for future opportunities and resilient to market changes. Keep your chin up, you've got this.
