I've never experienced this. Does this mean that they were already looking, or that they were able to immediately call someone up and get a job offer on-demand?
Edit: To be clear, having 'a job lined up' to me means that they already at least have an offer, rather than just a bunch of emails from recruiters and/or people looking to hire them. It seems really amazing to go from laid off to "have a job offer" in an afternoon. I could definitely see laid-off-to-interviews-lined-up in an afternoon though. Am I being too specific in my reading of this?
