I'll keep it short, I was laid off last month.
Insurance, mortgage payments etc. will be strapping the finances very soon.
I went for an interview and recently a second.
I really need this job, it has good benefits including overtime.
Working in the manufacturing sector leaves my opportunities very limited here in the northeast.
The wife is starting to freak since we can't afford the Cobra payments and we won't have any insurance.
A wish for some luck (or prayers, is that okay?) would be appreciated.
Thanks to my friends here on FR in advance.
I have added a brief description at the bottom of my about page.
Sorry to hear that. If its your first time then that's always the most traumatic. The only advice I can offer is to stay positive, stay busy and enjoy the springtime. Get all those projects done around the house that you've been putting off.
Or, come on over to Michigan, we're hir..............uh, better stay where you are you'll probably have a better chance of finding something.
Oh, as an addendum to my previous post, someone once told me to remember that I was unemployed before I got my last job...........
Not the first time but financially it comes at a bad time.
Last time it was for three days and the employment sector here was much better.
just catching up but hope you find what you need too....prayers for you and all those going thru tough times...
