Reach out to friends and colleagues, and don’t be shy about asking for introductions. Make sure you’ve identified local or national professional groups that can help you to meet colleagues in your industry. Make sure your cell phone, e-mail and voicemail are always working, and have resumes, cover letters and an interview outfit ready for any opportunity that may arise. This will be a difficult time for a lot of employees but with the proper planning it can be overcome and perhaps lead to greater opportunities.

Relax, it is not going to be that bad. 10% overall, slightly higher for certain teams. Main thing from now on is to lose SD through attrition and replace offshore. But no big cuts.
When back in the job market, I recommend taking ANY interview you're offered to get practice, but hold off on companies you really want to work for. Let the first 4-5 interviews be where you learn what state-of-the-art is in interviewing.
When I was back interviewing, after eight years, I had some bizarre interviews and others I just did terrible at.
Good luck, whatever that means to you.
Take a break and detox. If you have a package, you will now get another chance like this.
Plz uggest few groups resources that are worth to associate with.
Keep your head about you when you feel it's taking too long. There is no right answer to that. Some will be very lucky, and it could be you, or you could be far longer than you ever expected. It's normal either way. Consider first interviews you get practice and plan that you will be doing them many times even some of he same companies several times. Interviewing is your new job for a while, (yeah the pay s**** LOL) But you get better and better at it if it's been a long time. That's the mind set.
