I was laid off in December, a week after a rallying speech from the CEO declaring all jobs were safe.
I was surprised at how difficult it was to get an interview as I have a somewhat unique skillset. But understandable if 50-150 are applying.
It took seven months before I found something, by which point I had to bullshit about the gap in employment (left to spin up my consultancy!).
Agree with some of the comments here. Find a good recruiter who is a straight shooter, they will be able to get you an interview or tell you what you're missing.
