Last week of benefits, options? after 17 years as a line cook

I exhausted my benefits and have 17 interviews lined up. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. I am willing to take a temporary job. Where did you get help with bills?

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.
