> Refresh your brand by spiffing up your résumé and website. Post an easy- access pdf to your site. Give it a searchable name like lastname_resume.pdf.
> Learn new skills. Take an online course. Go to grad school. Better yet, teach a class at a local art school or community college. Teaching forces you to polish and refine what you know.
> Prepare for the big data demands of online job applications. Many employment sites require a detailed work and educational history down to month and year, including addresses and phone numbers for all employers and references.
> Control your own narrative. To help people make sense of your situation, have a one-sentence story. Examples: making a change, repositioning, reskilling, or seeking challenge/flexibIlity/pay/location/work-life balance.
> Use your time and talent for the greater good. Offer your services to organiza-tions. Embrace mutual aid. Activate your inner activist.
> Care for yourself. Breathe. Take walks. Work out. Call your mom.
