Just got laid off, what should I do first?

    I lost my job as an IT help-desk technician and I am not sure what to do first. Any experience at all would help. I have a box of my things and a short letter about benefits. Is there a checklist I should follow?

    Give yourself the first couple of days to be upset. I did, and then I felt able to plan.

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