Seeking Advice: Just laid off - Where to look for new opportunities?

As the titles states, I was just laid off as my firm was struggling and had no intentions to invest in new deals for the time being (I was in acquisitions). 

The job market is obviously not what it was at the beginning of the year and now that I am searching for a new role, I was wondering where people suggest I look for a new role (company, sector, etc.)

What do people suggest I do with my downtime aside from networking? Are there any recommended courses/books/licenses worth getting?

(Happy to connect and discuss opportunities if you are seeking an analyst btw)

Thank you
