Unemployment ran out before I found work after 16 years as a sales associate

I exhausted my benefits and have 16 interviews lined up. It has been a long 17 weeks. I wonder about extended programmes or help from local agencies. Did you find short-term work?

Call 211 to hear about emergency help with rent or utilities in your area. The list was longer than I expected.

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.
