Short term:

Have a good rotation of supplies at home. You'll want to cut out eating out to save $ and need to cut into your pantry. Have a good supply of other items as well, its hard to interview for a new job if you have ran out deodorant.

Try on your interview suit once a year to see if it still fits. Keep your resume up to date. Network with others during times when you have a job using tools such as linkedin and professional organizations like ISACA, ISC2, etc.

Keep your debt low and credit score good.


Long term:

Live in an area where there are jobs. I'd love to live on the farm in WV but then I'd be limited to one job over an hour commute away so if that one job goes away I'd have no plan B. Instead I live in an area where there are dozens of jobs within walking distance and even more within driving distance.
