This is an example of a job loss condolence message offering advice and recommending job search resources.

Message Subject Line: Hello from Your Name

Dear First Name,

I just heard that your position at ABC Company was eliminated and wanted to let you know that I'm sorry to hear the news.

As you know, I've recently job searched myself and, just in case you're interested in my experience, I'd be glad to discuss it with you.

I had good luck finding job postings using the job search engines (Indeed.com, SimplyHired.com and LinkedUp.com). In addition, LinkedIn was an invaluable tool for connecting with people who could assist with my job search.

I'll send you an invitation to connect on LinkedIn and would be glad to refer you to my connections who may be able to provide you with advice.

If there's anything else I can do, please don't hesitate to ask.

Your Name
Your Email Address
Your LinkedIn Profile URL
Your Phone Number
