When a friend or colleague calls you and notifies you that they just got laid off from work and don’t know what they are going to do, you need to get yourself in gear.  Do whatever you can to help this person out.

That person could just as easily be you as it could be him.  Help him with his resume, any job leads you might have heard about, the names of companies who may be hiring, maybe even take him out to lunch so he can talk things through.  Be there for your friend.

 Believe me when I say that you learn who your friends are when this happens, in much the same way that you learn who really cares about you (or doesn’t) when you get sick, hospitalized, go through surgery and related medical dramas.

So take the time to help your friend in time of need even if it is just a shoulder to lean on or a sounding board for his angst. You just never know when you will be the one in need of a friend.
