Work at fidelity investments, me and 5 others got laid off today
Luckly for me I just went up to Boston this past weekend and spent money like I was getting a promotion
Maybe it will be good and I can find a job I like more then this. Really want to get into financial advising but do not know where to start and am going to need money ASAP so I won't have time to figure it out

Or maybe the fact that I have a econ degree and don't know why I am unemployed is why I am unemployed.

My first suggestion is to hit up LinkedIn. It's the most effective way to look for jobs and engage hiring managers (even ones that turned you down). Next, upload your resume on the large job boards. If you have decent skills that are in demand then yeah, you will get called. But yeah, proactively seeking jobs on LinkedIn is the way to go.
Again, if you need help with your profile and your resume shoot me a PM and we can talk.
With some training I can get anyone past a phone screen with most firms even if you don't meet all the bogus requirements they put on the page.

at you insensitive prick bosses.
I'm not looking for help, was just curious to see if you were blowing smoke about what you do.
I'm already on LinkedIn, while it is helpful in finding a gig, it becomes a chore when you become inundated by recruiters like yourself who are looking for applicants to apply to jobs in random locations. I feel pressured to respond because I may in fact need to reach out to them in the future.
The one time I worked w a headhunter, he botched the whole thing.
Update Linkedin, a lot of companies are using this now... A LOT.
