I think ktrain used to do that for a living.
I got laid off during the pandemic along with 85% of the rest of the company by email on my birthday. The day before they sent an email saying you will get a new email the next day indicating whether you are severed or not. The absolute turnip HR lady sent that email not blind CC and the company list was sorted according to who was staying A to Z then who was going A to Z so everyone put two and two together and you knew if you were getting the hatchet the next day.
It sucked moreso because oil went to negative $30 so the job market was non-existent for a few months. No possible way to enjoy the time off because you felt compelled to sit at your computer and browse job websites and stare at your resume for hours/days nitpicking crap that doesn't matter. You feel pathetic phoning old contacts for "coffee".
That's an awesome sign, its a pretty good economy now so you should be pretty damn good. Enjoy the time off (which I know you won't, I could have been in Hawaii and I'd be miserable).
I could send you mine. Its got a really good format. Also apparently the two page maximum is not really a thing if you have many years experience, you can go to three multiple HR folks have told me.
