Hate to break it to you but it’s been six months for me and still unemployed. The market is terrible so I would buckle up for the long haul.

Currently applying to retail jobs to cover bills.

There is a group called Never search Alone. I have not tried them yet but see if you can find info around them.

I got canned a year ago myself. If you got laid off, that means severance and (depending on your state) unemployment. Take a little time to take care of yourself. Do something fun. If you can afford it, take a trip, or just take yourself to dinner. Take up a hobby.

It's also end of year, which means a lot of companies are pulling back on hiring. Budgets are about to juggle with the turn of the year. You may not see any good leads through this or even next month, but they will come.
