Spend eight hours a day putting in applications. Treat job hunting like a full time job. Tailor your resume to each job you apply for explain how your background fits there companies needs. Also apply in person unless the company requires otherwise most management/HR people are more likely to hire someone they have already seen face to face, online applications and resumes frequently get lost in the mix. Never be afraid to call or go into a business that does not have an ad in the paper or a help wanted sign. Always ask a business if they are accepting applications. It is a good way to open a line of communication in a non-treatening way.

Having a resume is helpful and in most cases required, depending on the type of work. By having a resume that pops can be the difference between you getting the interview and the other guy getting the interview. Being a former Human resources manager, I can say that the best thing you can do is put yourself out there. Make it clear to businesses that you are immediately available. Being as technologically advanced as we are, utilizing the Internet is the wises tactic. If you log into Monster.com or hotjobs.com, you will see that retailers post for basic, part time positions or management positions. Employers also want you to know that they are out there actively looking for good people. My best advice is to never blow off an interview or call back because you think you have already landed a job. This is the worse mistake my husband did while he was looking. even if you have a job locked, you should still see what others are offering. Maybe you will find something that you like better. And if not, at least you were able to work on your interview and communication skills.

It depends on a lot of things. The worst case situation is where you get fired, but there are lots of other reasons why people lose jobs.
The only way to get a job is to apply.
If you are desperate for money (have a lot of debt) it is probably too late to mention debt insurance.
You probably should expect a month before you get another job, because between advertising, interviewing and deciding there is usually a months wait.
Bad companies with internal problems usually find themselves having to recruit quickly, for example, where they lose one person and spend 3 months fighting amongst themselves before looking for a replacement.
Finally, if you find it hard to find the right job, start to study. Maybe do a short professional course and then it becomes a good explaination about what you were doing.

The best way is to put yourself together, do your resume and send out. Create an impressive resume that can appeal to companies where you are going to apply. These companies needing additional personnel can be from the net or the papers. One has to precondition the mind that life goes on no matter what trials are given us. And for the meantime that you are awaiting responses from the companies you applied in, you can maybe engage yourself in backyard businesses or in home business. When one falls or trip, there's no other recourse but to stand up and walk once more. Lastly, don't forget to pray and have faith in our Lord. He will never leave your side for as long as you believe in Him.

Go to your competitor the same day you leave.
