history: I lost my job a few years ago due to cut backs, they weren't making enough money. That job was everything to me. A few years back I got laid off from my job because they were losing too much money. It broke me_comma_ I really loved that job. Oh no_comma_ I am so sorry. What did you do? To be honest_comma_ I fell into a pretty deep depression. No one wanted to hire me. It was tough.
current: That is tough. That must have been quite the trying time. Did you eventually find work?
next: I did, yeah. And strangely enough, the company hired me back a few years later when they were doing better cashflow-wise.
