Layoff happened 13 days ago, feeling lost, administrative assistant here

They called a meeting on Monday and 13 of us were let go. I had been there 13 years. I have a few weeks of savings and a rent payment due. 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.

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