Last week of benefits, options? - 13 months and counting

I exhausted my benefits and have 5 interviews lined up. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. I have savings for about a month. Did you find short-term work?

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.

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