I highly recommend going to multiple recruiters. If for nothing else but to critique your resumes and see how they would go about selling you. Use that to either get the job or get a better idea.

2 mo. of savings is cutting it rough. If you have family who you can trust with your life, consider transferring any assets (like a car) to them and essentially squatting it out in your apartment (assuming you rent). If you have a mortgage immediately start going through the red-tape of your bank. It may be many months until they really get to you and if you play ball they may allow you to postpone enough payments until you get back on your feet.

I'll second this--I got a lot of useful suggestions for retooling my resume from several different recruiters. And, of course, more recruiters means more possible job opportunities to look into.
