I was let go as an IT help-desk technician this week and I am still in shock. It has been a long 9 weeks. I have a box of my things and a short letter about benefits. Which steps were urgent?

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

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 4 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
