I just got laid off from my position as a senior graphic designer after 9 months with the company that acquired my agency. I had spent 7 years in the field before that, so this sudden change has left me feeling lost. I have 2 weeks of severance pay and my insurance is valid until the end of the month, which is less than a week away. I'm unsure about where to start my job search since I haven't applied for jobs since 2018. I've been considering cold calling companies, but I've heard so many negative things about potential workplaces from sites like Glassdoor and LinkedIn. I'm feeling scared and overwhelmed about how to approach applying for new jobs. Any advice on where I should focus my efforts?
