BagheeraMom's journey

I was recently laid off from my position, and it hit me hard as the primary breadwinner for my family. I received only two weeks of pay as severance, which has left me feeling anxious about our financial situation. I'm reaching out to others who have been in similar positions, especially those with children, to see how they managed during the long job search that often follows a layoff. I know it can take months to find a new role, and I'm looking for any advice or strategies that worked for you. I’ve heard that networking is crucial, and I'm planning to reach out to my contacts on LinkedIn. Any tips on how to navigate this stressful period would be greatly appreciated.
