Benefits are ending soon and I have no offer - what worked for you?

My unemployment benefits end in 18 weeks and I have not found work as a mechanic. I am willing to take a temporary job. Did you find short-term work?

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

I took a temp job while I kept looking. It covered rent, and the agency sent me to a permanent job within a couple of months.
