I once offered the following to a fired friend right in the beginning of covid: - weekly check-in to see how their job search goes and even if they need a laptop to do their home tests (because i knew it was broken) - my reference and recommendation when they would reach the final stage of any interview ( i got a call from a hiring manager where i told them that they were basically the most talented colleague i ever had and it should be an instant hire) - i even asked a friend to create a job for them in his company -when the previous one got into hiring freeze- and hire them temporarily until they found something more suitable. I believe i did almost anything beyond human possible for them.
