Thousands of federal workers and contractors have lost their jobs this year due to the Trump administration’s funding freezes, unprecedented resignation offers, and outright layoffs.

Wayan Vota , a 20-year veteran of the international aid sector, lost his job along with most of his colleagues.

He started a Substack called Career Pivot with the aim of creating a community for laid off aid workers and helping them find new roles outside of the sector.

Laura Wigglesworth worked as a global health and development recruiter in the international development sector for 25 years .

Joel Levesque lost his job as a federal contractor earlier this year when USAID funding dried up.

He launched his own Substack in February , where he provides guidance on how to leverage AI in the job search process.
