Ask HN: I found out that I'm about to be laid off. How do people find jobs?

Using a throwaway account right now for obvious reasons. I have a friend at my company that has access to some insider stuff who (subtley) tipped me off that I'm on the chopping block for upcoming layoffs. Obviously, I'm trying to resume-spam now, but I am pretty sure that cold applying to companies doesn't work anymore, because every job posting is immediately botted to shit (and a lot of job postings are fake anyway). So...what do people actually do to find work now? Is it really just going through your metaphorical Rolodex and bothering friends/previous coworkers and asking if that can forward your resume?
