If you're concerned about job security, it's always a good idea to check in with people in your network. If you haven't been in touch with a professional acquaintance in a while, reach out and meet for lunch or drinks. Always good to catch up on business gossip, but it's also prudent to make sure you're in good standing with people in case you'll be needing job referrals in the coming year.

This is such good advice—your network often comes through faster than any application portal. Even just casual check-ins keep relationships warm, and you never know when they might lead to referrals.
Honestly set your LinkedIn to open to work! I have it like that all the time just for situations like this. Then recruiters reach out to you directly

That’s a smart move too—keeping “open to work” on quietly means you don’t have to scramble if things change. It makes opportunities come to you instead of the other way around.

You’re already being smart about this by maxing out your benefits and staying proactive with health care. Beyond the resume, I’d add: (1) strengthen your professional network, (2) have an updated budget/emergency fund, and (3) make sure your skills are visible—whether that’s certifications, side projects, or posting on LinkedIn. It’s about being prepared without assuming the worst.
