Looking for a job after being let go

I was let go from my job at a tech service journalism website after 12 years. I've applied to over 200 roles, but haven't had much success yet.

What I wish I knew
"I wish I had prepared for the job market better before being let go."
If I could tell you one thing
"Consider having a backup plan and updating your resume and skills regularly."
