First thing to do is sign up for unemployment, it screws over the company that just laid you off.

Use it as an opportunity to get in shape. Workout or run everyday, if you don't already.

You could take up a hobby, like drinking.

Depending on your financial situation, you could travel. Use the trip as an employment search and you may find a way to deduct a portion of it.

1) Move out of So Cal.

2) 5-10 resumes a day?!?! WTF?! What industry are you in?
Try to spend a little time networking. Check out "Linked-In" if you have anybody in your work history that liked you it could help out.

3) Talk to a few, 3 or 5, recruiters. You intervew them, not vice-versa. Find one that seems clued in and not just interested in making mass amounts of nearly random job placements.

4) 5-10 resumes a day?!?!?!? WTF AGAIN?!?! Try spending a little time being more selective. You are quite possibly giving off the impression of being desperate for employment; and desperation is rarely a trait you want to play up.

Does unemployment pay a % of your previous wages to everyone in the program
