I have been collecting for almost 6 mths now and it is RUNNING out SOON! I am freaking out b/c Im not sure what to do?? I still havent found a job yet...6 mths is the longest I have ever gone w/o working. I am working p/t doing admin stuff which could go f/t BUT it wont even cut it with my bills. I am just so UTTERLY frustrated with not finding a "job" and stressing(now more than ever) how I am going to make ends meet Crying or Very sad I have some savings but not enough for the long haul if it comes to that...which I HOPE NOT.

btw...in PA

Consider PT not as good as FT but better than nothing. Keep looking. Set yourself to a schedule at night and resign to applying for either a certain number of jobs nightly or dedicating a set amount of time to the job search, whichever will get you to doing more. See if PA allows you any additional benefits, plese check with the unemployment office.

Continuous search and a variety of ob search means could be the best thing for you. Try networking, try free lancing, try cold contact, try, try and try. Never give up because this might become your greatest enemy. I've been there and if it weren't for my friends, I would have given up. I found a job after one tiresome month of continuous search.
