[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a headhunter for high level executive search OP. Anytime someone I know is out of a job, Iwrite their resumes and voer letters for them. I even set up an email account for theim to use just for job hunting.

Just ask your GF what help she needs OP. Maybe you could get her Unemployment Comp for her online (some states are making it easy now). You could go with her to the office.

I have found in life that when people are hurting they need actual handholding to get them moving. Be nice and help her. You sound nice actually. Good luck[/quote]

5 weeks is t that long. She may just be processing things and getting her PtO days paid out and severance.
Soon she needs to start networking with everyone in her industry or target industry. Help her come up w a plan and feasible number of info calls and coffee chats to have during the dayZ. Also make something to look FW to like weekend outings or trips. Try to have her get in a "schedule" like workout in AM, coffee shop for online job apps, afternoon for follow up calls, update the spreadsheet of the job search and then every other day have a social dinner or date with a friend or you.

Getting laid off sucks, even when it is totally not your fault.[/quote]
