At least you got a month's notice.  Many of us have been laid off with much
less (as in, none at all).  

There are a lot of discussions in the archives, and articles on the Techwr-l
site itself, about how to find a new job.  My favorite is the "T-letter"
article.  Check it out.

Start looking now.  Get a good resume on Monster, Dice, or whatever is good
in your area.  Employment opportunities are much better now than they were
just a few years ago.

You don't say where you are.  If you are in the Seattle area, drop me a
line.  I know some good local resources.
