Depends on how much savings u hv to tide u thru otherwise find a temporary job to get some income n lookout for a proper job at the same time

How many months - usually max 2.

It's actually much easier to find a job when there is a previous employer or some former co-worker who could make a good recommendation for you.

It is difficult to provide an exact answer as to how many months it takes people on average to find a job.
