Then, in 2002, Sprint laid her off.
    “I thought I might be looking a few weeks or months at most,” says Ms. Dewing, now 56 years old.【C3】______she spent the next six years in a career wilderness, starting in internet cafe that didn’t succeed, working【C4】______job and low-end positions in data processing, and fruitlessly【C5】______hundreds of job postings. The low point came around 2004 when a recruiter for Sprint—now known as Sprint Nextel Corp.—called seeking to fill a job similar to the one she【C6】______two years earlier, but paying barely a third of her old salary.
    In April, Ms. Dewing finally landed a job【C7】______her old one in the information technology department of Wal-Mart Store Inc.’s headquarters in Bentonville, Ark, where she relocated. She【C8】______about 20% less than she did in 2002, adjusted for inflation, but considers herself fortunate, and wiser.
