Everyone is telling you to take a week off but I have never really had that option myself. I do think you should prioritize making sure you are signed up and jumping the hoops for unemployment. I would like to prioritize the job search right away but again the hoops you have to jump for benefits make it unfortunately a secondary concern. After that primary is resume and professional online prescence. That whole time sending resumes should have been secondary and now it becomes primary. I like to sorta prioritize contract positions because I can keep the search up during them for what I really want and extend my unemployment if its a bumpy ride. I find tech to littered with serial unemployment myself so if this is your first time you are either very young or very lucky.
