I found myself laid off over a year ago, so I can really understand where you are coming from. The first place I would go is the unemployment office. Even if you don’t qualify for unemployment benefits, they can still notify you when jobs are available. I would next start looking for jobs on Indeed. If you have a smart phone, you can download their app, otherwise you can just go to their website... there are lots of job listings posted there. If you need guidance, most towns have an agency that will help you make a resume, figure out what job you would like, as well as brush up on job-related skills. You might have to ask around what company does this in your area though. Finally, don’t be afraid to try out a temp agency. Plenty of companies only hire through them. It is often lower pay to start, but usually after 2-3 months, if you prove you are a good worker, companies will hire you and they generate are well paid.

If you need money right away, try not to be too picky at which jobs you apply for. Then when you’re in a stable position, start either looking for work you like, or educating yourself in a job or career you’d like to obtain in the future. Work hard and always keep moving. Use your failures as lessons to be learned and motivation to do better with that new information. Be kind to people, because you reap what you sow. Ask questions, always clarify if you don’t have enough information. Knowledge is key, and it’s how you use that knowledge that will define your life.
