A millennial who got laid off from her dream job says she doesn't feel betrayed: 'The company has already moved forward and you need to do so too'

• Michelle Valera, 28, got laid off from her "dream job" a few weeks ago.
• But she says she doesn't feel "betrayed" because the company is not her family.
• Her job search has been challenging, but she says all she can do is move forward.

Michelle Valera is starting to feel the weight of unemployment. 

On January 19th, the Orlando-based 28-year-old was laid off from her "dream job" — a digital marketing role she began last March with a Fortune 500 commercial real estate company.

In the weeks since, Valera says she's applied to "close to 100" jobs but hasn't had much luck, and that she's beginning to "get very anxious" about her finances. 

But despite all this, she says she doesn't feel "betrayed" by her former employer and thinks others shouldn't feel this way either — at least for too long.
