Unemployment ran out before I found work after 7 years as a bookkeeper

I exhausted my benefits and have 7 interviews lined up. It has been weighing on me all week. I have savings for about a month. Did you find short-term work?

Ask your state agency about any extended programmes. Mine did not advertise them, but they existed.

Food pantries and community kitchens helped us stretch the budget. No shame in using them.
