Last week of benefits, options? after 8 years as a call-centre agent

I exhausted my benefits and have 8 interviews lined up. Any experience at all would help. I wonder about extended programmes or help from local agencies. Did you find short-term work?

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.
