I think as long as you're open to relocating shouldn't be that hard.
Linked in, is a great site nearly all professionals use it. Did your old job just downsize? Seriously man wish the best. I lost a job once. Blew those savings looking for another, then went back to school. I'm confident enough to say if you look in the right places you'll find something in those fields. May not pay exactly what you want tho from the starts.
