<prompt> Human: As the title says this is the first time Ive been unemployed since starting my career ten years ago. It has been about 5 days since I was unexpectedly laid off. I received severance to last me until the end of March and have money in the bank to last me another 4 months, so I should be covered until August. Since Tuesday Ive applied to about 50 jobs, or about 10 a day at the director or VP level. Im looking in other cities Id be willing to move to as well. Ive sent my resume to 5 recruiting agencies in town, have not heard back from a single one yet and Ive let a few contacts know that Im looking as well. Here are my questions.1. For those of you who found jobs at the VP level or higher, what tactics worked for you?2. Should I file for unemployment? I live in Texas. Anything to know there?3. Anything else I should be doing that Im not?  <response>: VP Level doesnt say much. Were you the VP of a KFC franchise or a Fortune 500? Do you have a degree? Do you have any skills? Id immediately file for unemployment and then brush up on my communication skills.
