Finding the actual job is not a purpose, but rather a consequence of staying motivated and knowledgeable and keeping in touch with your aviation network. That's one way to look at it. Those are the sort of trying times when you need all your resilience. And the fact that you don't give up at the first sign of trouble, as some people are inclined to do, will speak a lot of you to any future employers. Also, cynical as it may sound, it's a sort of a practice run where you can learn about how to manage times of crisis. Things like that happen in aviation every 10 years or so. For a 40-year career, you're likely to live through at least 3 large-scale airline bloodbaths with thousands of unemployed pilots out there. The reasons could be anything - a pandemic, an economic collapse, a petroleum crisis. But the result for our brethren is always the same. So, now it's a good time to work out how to be best prepared for the next one which, for one reason or another, will happen around 2030 or so. Keep calm and carry on. Life hasn't stopped, or at least not for too long.
