Last week of benefits, options? after 5 years as a paralegal

My unemployment benefits end in 24 weeks and I have not found work as a paralegal. Any experience at all would help. I am willing to take a temporary job. 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.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 3 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
