Were you fired or laid off? Regardless, apply for unemployment insurance as soon as you're able. It won't be as much as you were getting, but it's better than nothing.

I was unemployed for over a year and it really sucks. I hate to say it, but I doubt you'll find a job making as much as you were before, especially in the IT sector (assuming that's where you are), but you might find something in the ballpark. I'd also suggest that if someone offers you a job that's even vaguely reasonable, jump at it. It might be the only offer you'll get for months.

Otherwise, send out your resume as much as possible.

What do you do, in case one of us runs across an appropriate job?
