Be honest with people about what you're looking for, and be honest with yourself about what you can expect. You're in Q4, and, due to the sheer number of holidays, it's possible nothing comes through until Q1. Consider doing something on a freelancing website while continuing to look. No, the hourly might not be great, but it's covering a gap in employment, it's experience and it's money.
First thing, apply for unemployment. Second, post on LinkedIn and reach out to your network. Reach out to the good external recruiters, and all the resourcing managers you know. Think about what you did and what you saw from people in April 2020 when everyone was shutting down and work dried up. If this is your first recession it won’t be your last, but it will teach you a lot about riding the waves.
You are partially responsible for doing the work you want. Propose the type of work you want to do to your higher ups. Don't wait for the perfect brief or opportunity. Be proactive. I'm not saying it's easy. Wish you luck.

Also feel free to send me your book — we’ve been hiring.
The end of the year is slow. I was laid off around this time a couple years ago. The market is hot in the new year. I’d everything ppl said above, seriously apply for unemployment bc it takes a bit to process. And in the meantime you might find quicker gigs for freelance right now. Should be easy to say yes to any of those off the bat.

Apply to everything, but applications have been a dead end. Post on LinkedIn that you’re looking and start spamming people.
Do you hire senior copywriters with no pharma experience? I always find that pharma wants those with HCP experience.
I got laid off in August, with full severance until mid Nov. There is stuff out there, but the process is slow. I’ve had dozens of screeners with HR & hiring managers, but nothing serious or close to an offer yet. Hearing from recruiters that new roles for Jan starts will start to get posted in late Nov/early Dec. Keep your head up, it’ll be rough for a bit but you’ll land. I’ve been through this (laid off in ‘09 when I worked on a financial acct) but with perseverance, the role I eventually landed was so much better with higher pay.
Happy to refer you to FCB Health. There is no scare of layoffs here (that I’m aware of). I switched into pharma a year ago and haven’t looked back — if you’re looking for a 6 figure lifeline, this is it.
If you need the money def take what comes. But don't stop talking.
You could also freelance while you apply for full time
Try to freelance. I had to quit my job earlier this year for health reasons. Looked for freelance work when I started getting better to fill the gap in employment and to also get some work in my book
What market you in? Hiring an acd for art side in Chicago but you gotta go in once a week
I’m interested! Currently a freelance ACD and getting my hours cut majorly, so looking for a new job.
Hang in there. Something will pop up.
hang in there!

I was also laid off two months ago, but have taken a job with an agency I never dreamed I could have on my cv albeit for a small pay cut. Reach out directly to recruiters on LinkedIn. Be charming to all, and remember you need to pay your rent and maybe now isn’t the time to be picky. But you never know where you could land! Good luck.
