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?
Tip for best answer: M$0.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

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 ;)

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.

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.

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:
