That's how I avoided layoff during the first ten rounds. I voluteered to go during the 11th round because I was supremely unhappy. When others get laid off, you get to inherit their responsibilities, naturally. And, after inheriting SO much stress and SO many responsibilites for the same amount of pay, it just wasn't worth it to me to stay anymore. My fiance is still there (we worked for the same company) after who-knows-how-many rounds of layoffs. He's a star, though--so, he'll be there for as long as he can take it!

I wanted to comment specifically on the unemployment information. If you don't do your research in advance (as recommended) you'll find out that it's not really that straightforward. They ask for a bunch of things. On the other hand, you might be eligible for more benefits that you think. Those really are very good suggestions.
