Checklist: What to Do If You've Been Laid Off or Let Go
Practical first steps after losing a job — severance and paperwork, unemployment benefits, health coverage, references, and how to sequence your search in the first 30 days.
In plain terms: This guide outlines steps to handle the emotional and personal impact of losing a job. You can use it to establish healthy daily routines, find support, and prepare yourself before starting a new search.
Why I recommend it: Do the benefits and paperwork items in week one. Filing late for unemployment costs real money you can't get back.
