Five years ago, Alesandra Dubin was laid off from her corporate job after spending 15 years in the journalism industry. The experience was abrupt and impersonal — she was summoned to an unfamiliar office, where an HR representative she’d never met informed her of the decision.

After the layoff, Dubin set her mind on concrete things: revamping her resume, going on job interviews, and securing her family’s financial well-being. Being in her 40s, she feared the corporate…
