Laid off this week, where do I start?

    I was let go as a software tester this week and I am still in shock. I am in Salt Lake City, in case local advice matters. I have a few weeks of savings and a rent payment due. Is there a checklist I should follow?

    Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 8 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

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