    I lost my job as a project coordinator and I am not sure what to do first. I am in Detroit, in case local advice matters. I have a few weeks of savings and a rent payment due. Is there a checklist I should follow?

    File for unemployment right away. Do not wait for severance decisions. The date you file can matter.

    I made a short list: benefits, bills, documents, and then my résumé. One thing each day kept me steady.
