In short, no.

Severance is built in to contractual employment agreements up front. Being a temp employee limits your options.

You have a great opportunity if you choose to see it that way. Experience at Cisco ( no matter your quality of experience at Cisco ) will likely have changed your prospects. You might be surprised to find hiring managers and recruiters who would say that this is a hard time of year to find people to hire.

So, What type of work are you looking for?

Thank you for your response!

I'm looking for marketing positions, preferably at a startup.
