Here’s two cent worth to add:
My husband was “let go” the week before Thanksgiving last. The company was “kind” enough to pay for him to go to a recruiter/prep-type organization. This, ultimately, led to his present job (he landed this within two months...) at the same salary as the last. So, I think using those types of resources might be good.
Also, my son landed the excellent job he is in through a high school friend who smoothed the way into the company. He’s doing well because, among other things, he’s been willing to move to head up a new contract the company landed. A history major working as an IT business analyst!
Finally, my father’s experience has been, as an engineer, to use trade magazines - many of which advertise job offers or contacts in the back pages.
Good luck - bon chance - God be with you!
