Please select the session/s you would like to attend below and a calendar invitation will be sent to you. Don't forget to add your resume and apply for jobs at jobs.xoogler.co which was launched by the community after the news of the layoffs. Sign up for the community at Xoogler.co to be added to the Xoogler Slack to chat with Xooglers and monthly email newsletter and access other benefits. If you need peer support during these times, Kristin Maczko, Google's former Director of Global Mental Health and Well-being can connect you with Xoogler/Googler volunteers. Impacted Googlers use this form to request to be paired with a Peer Support volunteer for a 1:1 session
