If you’ve been laid off, please let me tell you something.
The best chances for landing your next gig are not through LinkedIn, Indeed, or anything like that. It’s through the people you’ve worked with before.

And please, PLEASE be gentle on yourself. Job hunting and interviewing is hard and a deeply flawed, chaotic process.
