What do you do for work, if you don’t mind me asking… Just wondering how well I can relate, because I was in a very similar situation a short while back. I’m a software engineer.

One thing that you could do is just start putting out resumes. If/When you get a call back, do some additional research on that company and see if it interests you. You can also but your name in with a recrutting firm (head hunters), and they will do all of that work for you, at ZERO cost to you.

Dude….I am assuming you are a “dude”….I just posted a very similar post with much more thought, but still very similar nonetheless. I was aking for someone like myself cause I need a similar answer. I just dont know if there is an answer. I will let you know if I come up with anything….

I’m in the same position. I got made redundant and had to take a huge pay cut. Am now in a minimum wage job. Struggling with bills and no way out. There are a lot of us in the same position. Just try and stay positive.
