Get involved in some hobbies to lighten up your mood. Consider the drastic change in your life as a stepping stone for a bright future.

Use your relationships:

Talk with your friends, relatives, and former colleagues, while planning something for future employment. Their small suggestions may provide you with proper guidance. Use your network to know about job openings. Never hesitate to contact your former bosses.
