I got laid off at the end of June and the best thing I did for myself was join as many local job networking groups as possible. I thought I was a shitty networker but sometimes it’s simple as shaking hands, introducing yourself and exchanging linked in information. These places have volunteers that have connections to hiring managers that can get you in the front of the line for interviews. Plus you meet a lot of great people who can help you fix up your resume for free.

I would’ve gone crazy if I didn’t have my job networking group to go to. So much help and moral support from great people who are in worse situations than I was. I start my new job on Monday and it was so awesome to go back to that group to thank them for all their help and support.
