June 15th is not that far away. Get your applications out, Get your pre-hires in.
Unless you are willing to cough up some extra money for the refresher course that you may be required to take -- is that how you want to spend that severence pay?
If your severance is going to be big enough to pay for:
a refresher course (when i priced them they ranged from $400 to $2k)
live on
tie you over until your paychecks start coming in
then by all means wait.
Otherwise, in a layoff situation you have to look at your own long and short term needs.

-April 16th was my birthday
-Thanks for the list of companys. I'm going to look those guys up and see what they offer
-My school just told me I could come in whenever I want to refresh my driving skills
-severance pay will pay off school and the rest is play money
