well hopefully people w/ jobs are thinking about todays bad economy and already have cut back spending to put alittle aside for a rainy day.

I would immediately file unemployment (1st check can take 6-8 weeks).

I spam every position i thought i could do even if I'm not qualified and i would follow up on the ones i know i would like.

I would look for ca$h work on craigslist like freelance computer work

And if I got a job offer I would consider anything up to a decrease in pay of 20%; though it would suck my pay rate -20% is still far better than unemployment + i could keep looking for that perfect position.



I think one big mistake people make in this market is asking for too much $. In todays market we'll just say you are an administrative assistant "glorified secretary" making 50k; companies can easily find someone willing to do the job for 40k.
