Got laid off after internship. Don't know what to do. Totally blank currently. Not able to process.
If you are a high skilled individual then you may not need to read this comment. I'm sharing what I did as same thing happened to me last year.
Best thing to do is to relax for a few days and start upskilling. If you know only frontend/backend then become fullstack dev, do more Leetcode, add better projects to your resume and keep improving it. Just do this your entire day and don't waste time on anything else.
It will take some time(3-4 months) but you will get a job, given the market situation getting a job even by Jan will be great. From this point onwards keep applying to as many companies as you can regardless of how good or bad your resume is. You can also ask you LinkedIn connections to review your resume to get an idea where to improve.
During this phase, have some people to talk to regularly(could be a friend or parents). Not having a job right after graduation takes a mental toll, don't let it happen to you.
Last year after I had some knowledge of frontend and backend and relevant projects in my resume, I was able to apply to almost 10 companies each day. Considering the market has deteriorated you should still be able to apply to 4-5 jobs a day after having relevant skills.
Make sure to improve your LinkedIn profile with everything up to date. And also create your profile on other job platforms like Naukri, Indeed, etc. For my current job, HR reached out to me through my profile at Naukri.com.
Note:
While applying try taking referral whenever possible, increases changes of getting shortlisted.
Don't fall for scams job offers. Any company or consultancy that asks money for any stage of the hiring process is basically a scam.
Don't stop applying once you are selected after clearing all rounds of interviews for any company. Keep applying and give interviews until you get that offer letter.
You should post it like a post of good points.

Not the end of the world. Dont take it too harsh on yourself. Take a step back and evaluate it and start reaching out to PPL on LinkedIn who can refer you to their company .. if possible put out some work and use it to show case your skills
