What are your best tips to find a job if you are laid off?

Spend some time with a career counselor. Every state offers free services to job hunters. The nationwide list is below.

Review your skills and the job descriptions of jobs you have been interviewing for. If you are not passing the interview, either you don't really have the right skills or you need a bit of help with the interviewing process. If you need additional skills, consider any options the state may offer to fill a niche.

Also, look at local adult school and community colleges for low cost and often on-line options. If the interview process is what is getting in your way, practice, practice, practice. Your career counselor can help you, or seek out a mentor.

Go on linkedin and identify someone in your network to be your coach. Get out in the world and meet other professionals socially through meetup.

Wow, I have never been in that kind of situation before. After being turned down hundreds of times as your answer suggests, I can imagine it must be a huge strike to the ego. Honestly, I'm not sure if I could continue looking for a job after all that disappointment.

I do have two tips for you and ANYONE ELSE, however: 1. Don't give up! Keep looking, it's only a matter of time, and you must need somebody's standards out there.

Get in touch with friends if they know of any companies that are hiring. Keep on looking, and don't hang onto the past. If someone turns you down, leave it behind you and don't be sad or hold grudges.2.

Go back to college for a better degree! After years of raising me and any brothers/sisters I may or may not have, my mother recently went back to college to get a better degree. She has a job, but it will help her to get promoted.

And if she ever gets fired, a better degree will make the job search all the more easier. By following these basic two tips, you can go far. It's never to late to continue or finish your educational experience at college, and never give up!
