So I am in month 7 since I left my job. By now I thought I would have been gainfully employed. Enjoying a better position, better pay and betty benefits. No such luck. I have been looking for work now in all ernst for like 2 months. I have applied to about 30 jobs, reached out to over 40 individuals in my network and still on the road. Now the tough decisions come. Moving out of my apartment to live with my cousin, leaving a neigbhorhood that I love. Creditors call me everyday and I tell them the same thing. I am not working, I have no money so there is nothing I can do. I mean when I was working and had money, they got their money. I wished they had called me then to thank me for paying my bills on time. They should have called me a least 3x a day to thank me. What I need now is to be left alone while I keep working on finding work.
I am a working low middle class latina woman in her mid-30's who is eligible for nothing and frankly doesn't want to get on any public assistance program because honestly I am an able bodied person that should be able to find work, pay for my bills. But as the days go by, I am realizing that I can rely on my family and friends only for so long. I might have to bite the bullet and head to a welfare office soon -get food stamps, and some other assistance until I get on my feet.
I am feeling down, down, down, down, down....hopefully this will turn around sooner than later.
