Good Point, V.
While I am fairly conservative, I would say use the unemployment bennies (which you funded with taxes) liberally. Do not rush out and take the first burger-flipping job you can find...the system is set up with the expectation that you will seek employment in your field, at or near your previous income level.
For professionals it is normal that a job search would take months.
