Unemployment ran out before I found work - any advice?

My unemployment benefits end in 8 weeks and I have not found work as a call-centre agent. Any experience at all would help. I wonder about extended programmes or help from local agencies. What did you do after benefits ran out?

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

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