How did get your next role after being unemployed for some time?

Maybe you were PIPed, fired, or laid off (not on leave).
How did you get that next role (referrals, simply applying, etc)? What are some of the things you mentioned to the recruiters/hiring managers explaining that "gap" in your resume (Being honest or lying)? What did you do in your free time besides LC and interviewing? What type of company did you end up going to (FAANG, unicorn/recent IPO, startup, old tech/consulting, etc)? Any additional information would help.
Note: I've been given my lay off notice recently and I'm looking for my next role. I've been fumbling screenings and onsites :(
TC: $100k
YOE: 2

My answer to the gap was, I was in no rush. I had time, and I explained I prioritized taking time to figure things out, making sure that I found the right match between my passion and the jobs offered.
Best of luck!
Ps, I used hired(dot)com to get good interviews.
