Navigating job applications after a semi-layoff in Europe

I recently experienced a semi-layoff after moving to Europe for a job that I was really excited about. I had been working remotely for this company since 2023 and finally got the chance to relocate to their headquarters. I left Brazil in February, bringing my cat and all my savings, hoping for stability. However, this month, all administrative employees were put on a semi-layoff, meaning our workload is cut to 50% and our notice period is now just 2 weeks instead of 3 months. Thankfully, this situation doesn't affect my visa, but I feel completely lost. I dedicated myself to this role, juggling multiple functions, and now I feel like I sacrificed everything for a job that has turned into a nightmare. I have no friends here, and while my boyfriend is supportive, he doesn’t fully understand my frustration. I’ve started applying for new jobs as soon as I arrived, but the rejections keep piling up. It’s tough to find opportunities as a newcomer, and I don’t even have the funds to return home. My parents sold our house, thinking I would find stability here, and now I feel more lost than ever.
