This all depends. If it happened right now, or after my house is built.
If it happened now.
1. - No, I would not look for a job right away.
2. - For once in my life I have a multi-month financial cushion, I would file for unemployment (I guess I would look for jobs to fulfil my unemployment), but I would not worry about bills for at least two months.
3. - I would do exactly what I did this summer, load my bike with everything I need to survive, and start pedaling. I would go to Jackson Hole, Missoula, Calgary, Whistler, and Vancouver, look at local newspapers for job openings, and stop at the location of those available positions that interest me and hand them my resume and ask for an interview before I pedal out of the town.
4. - Maybe...
5. - I guess pedaling around for months at a time would fall under travelling the world for months at a time. If it lasted that long I would keep doing it, if I found a job I liked in a place I liked I would stop.
If my house were completed. That makes things much different. If I could find renters quickly, I would go with the same idea as above. Otherwise I would look for any job I could get in the region to help pay for bills while I look for renters. If I had a SO the circumstances would be much different also.
Saying all that, I like my job, like where I am at, and will do everything I can to keep my position, but having lost jobs multiple times before, even when I thought things were going great it's nice to know I'll be alright if it did happen.
