Not to be dismissive but 8 days aint even getting started.
Not to be discouraging but my wife lost her job a few years ago and it took her a little over a year to find another job.
I guess what I am saying is dont give up.
I cant tell where you are on my phone but if in the USA our economy is going well and people cant hire fast enough.
You may have to take something you may not exactly want and keep looking for better employment while working.
Thats what my wife did.
I wish you the best
Focus on the positive, you are sober and breathing.
