“If you’ve been laid off, have you decided to start your own
business? What is your focus – services? products? What are the
challenges? Are there rewards too? Is this something you’ve wanted
to do, or is it a decision you made because other jobs aren’t
available right now? Has it required a substantial investment of
money?”
