Be Flexible Toward New Opportunities

I often meet people who have recently been laid off and they suddenly feel bewildered about what to do about it. This is normal. However, this is a good time to explore many other options including a possible career change. Still, the best thing to do is not to go it alone. Let everyone know what your situation is; there is no shame in being laid off. In your job search, you likely won't be able to pick up right where you left off. Be flexible, don't don't rule out accepting jobs that aren't directly in your element. If this is the case for you, use your next job as your next "right job" that will serve as a springboard to where you need to be.
