Benefits are ending soon and I have no offer - any advice?

I exhausted my benefits and have 5 interviews lined up. There are 5 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I have savings for about a month. Did you find short-term work?

Ask your state agency about any extended programmes. Mine did not advertise them, but they existed.

Food pantries and community kitchens helped us stretch the budget. No shame in using them.
