What's the best way to find a new tech job when you've been laid off?
With all the tech layoffs at the moment, what's the best way to find a new job? I mean a tech job, not flipping burgers!
Asking friends/networking? Looking for jobs online? Building something/working on open source to try to show your worth? Something else?

I would train for certifications in the downtime, this also increases your chance of getting a job as employers look for certifications and experience, also, don't give up ;)

I think a lot of people would say networking, but not everyone has friends in the industry.
You could try listing yourself on Layoff Talent. It's new, but looks like a good place to post your info and hopefully be found by an employer:

I would say start off networking, there are many websites for that (linkdin comes to mind). Continue your training, keep up with trends, if you resume isnt getting hits anywhere then update it. There are LOTS of tech jobs over seas. Check out companies like EMW or ITT.
networking and creating your own job are probably the best ways to find a new job. When you get laid off you do have alot of mean time and you can create value.
