Got laid off in March and this is genuinely the first time I've job hunted in a market like this

Last time I looked for a job it took three weeks and I had two offers to pick from. This time I'm five months in. Nothing about my resume changed, the market did. Still trying to unlearn the instinct to take that personally. If you've been through a layoff and came out the other side, what actually moved the needle versus what just felt productive?
