   Its sad to hear about layoff at companies. Right now it seems like a bad time to be laid off. I’m here to offer some hope and suggest you some tips:
   
   1. Don’t get lazy. It might seem dire, but if you work it you WILL find a job.
   2. Make sure you spend at least 40% - 45% of every day trying to find a job. That means working on your resume. Getting your cover letter finished. Sending out resumes. Searching the web for work. Networking. Etc.
   3. Start a blog on the field you want to work in.
   4. Do things that will get you to be recognized as a world leader in the field you want to be in.
   5. You can also do a video everyday on YouTube that demonstrates something you know.
   6. Show your friends your resume and cover letter. Don’t have any friends? Now is the time to make some. Call up some interesting people and ask for an informational interview. This is particularly key if you work at a big company and are getting laid off.
   7. You can also Volunteer.
   8. Make sure you take advantage of any help your former employer is offering. Sometimes they have retraining or other programs that might help you land an even better job.
