    Now what?

    Didn't think it would happen, but I'm the latest casualty of the recession.

    Wow, total shock...


    So now what do you do?

    It appears as though you can.

    I'll probably hit you up for a little resume help/review.

    I can definitely help with your island too.

    Damn Brian..... I'm sorry man.

    I would suggest getting your unemployment paperwork rolling ASAP. You pay into it while you're working, so have it pay you back, while you're looking.

    Sorry to hear that you lost your job. It happens to everyone. But don't waste time taking a personal day. Start looking for another job while you still have your mojo.

    And then go for a ride and clear out the pipes.

    Re: Now what?

    How does the unemployment work? I got a couple weeks notice with pay coming where I believe I'm still considered an employee. I also got a severance package so when can I even file?

    You can file now, but you'll just be asked about severance pay. You'll inter the time that you will continue to get paid and your unemployment benefits will start after.

    Get your financials in order (unemployment, cash flow, expenses) asap, fire off a bunch of resumes, hit up your Linkedin network etc. but more importantly.. go for a ride.

    His last day is at the end of his pay. If his severance pay is for, say, 1 month, then he is eligible for UEM at then end of that month, but can apply now. It takes 4-6 weeks to process the appication, send papers to him for signatures and to send back.

    Ditto. Except they have a "waiting week" after all your severance/vacation/etc pay ends that you don't get paid for. So if you have 8 weeks of pay left, you'll start getting unemployment after 9 weeks. But yes, start asap because it does take a while to get it all in order.
