One extra thing I would recommend to anyone laid off - subscribe to the local paper (or read it online) every day. Find the local business rag that covers local businesses and either subscribe or read it online. I actually recommend subscribing, because stepping away from your computer to read a print edition will keep you a little more focused, and you'll tend to read the "random" articles that may turn out to be useful. At the very least, it keeps you well informed of local business happenings which will make you sound more informed when you talk to companies that might hire you. when they mention company X and you say "oh yes, i saw they just closed that deal with IBM" or "right, they just got new office space off of mopac" you sound a bit more relevant and with-it. :) Sandy, here’s a related story from silicon alley that has links to lots of good stuff to read if you are laid off, or on the bubble…
