Unemployment ran out before I found work after 16 years as a software tester

I exhausted my benefits and have 16 interviews lined up. I have savings for about a month. What did you do after benefits ran out?

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

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.
