As someone who's scared of all the lay offs happening, what should I do to calm down and keep going?

Short version: Do an internet search for “the hidden job market”.

Unlike most people’s “passive” strategy of posting a resume on LinkedIn or sending resumes to job postings then hoping that someone takes notice of you, you’ll develop an “active” strategy of finding openings before they’re ever posted publicly. It takes more work and planning, which is why you should start now while you’re employed.

Update your resume, find jobs you’d apply to immediately if you were laid off, and probably start practicing for the interviews.
