Being laid off is never fun. Really, beyond the financial hit, it's quite demeaning to your mental health, emotional well-being, and it can even affect your physical health.
I've been told before by those in my life that I'm very tactful and efficient when it comes to landing interviews and attention from recruiters/hiring managers. Part of that stems from the innate survival instinct of fight or flight. My anxiety heightens my fight instinct and I begin to function in an almost over-efficient job-hunting strategist.
