To all the young 'uns out there having their earliest jobs: don't take a lay off personally. You have to understand that a business has to turn a profit to stay afloat.
Sometimes the profits dip due to factors beyond your control as an employee. That's just the way it is.
But your employer can't keep you on out of charity, or else the entire company might go belly up.
If you do well at work, make sure your manager knows. And if the lay off hammer happen to hit you, ask the manager to at least write you a letter of recommendation explaining that the layoffs came as a result of factors beyond your own control.
It will be very helpful to your career because even though you lost a job, you still have work experience under your belt.
The more experience you accumulate to your resume, the safer you will be in future job opportunities.
Another thing I'd advise doing is that when you have a steady job, keep looking for other jobs. Send out those resumes and go to job interviews. And if you find a job that offers better pay and working conditions, let your manager know that you're considering another offer.
It's not "disloyal", it's merely pursuing your rational self interest. And a professional manager will be fully understanding of this. Either they will wish you godspeed with your new job, or they will sit down at the negotiating table with you in order to keep you on staff. And when that happens, make sure to bargain for stronger job security and better pay first and foremost.
Most people never bother doing this. They just show up for work every day and don't think about getting another job, because they already have one.
