Last week of benefits, options? after 12 years as a security officer

I exhausted my benefits and have 12 interviews lined up. There are 12 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I have savings for about a month. What did you do after benefits ran out?

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

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.
