My job fired me yesterday right at the end of the shift. They said I was rude to a customer and that was that. They pulled me into the office and then escorted me out the side door. Wow, I am unemployed now. At least I can get just a little bit in unemployment benefits though. Now I will never get caught up on my car payments or insurance. Grr! What to do, what to do! And the economy sucks! It's going to be hard finding a job right now.

Sorry for you! It's really tough, I've been unemployed since last October, And I don't see any light at the end of the tunnel yet. Back in the old days we could save up some money in the bank for an emergency fund for things like this. But those days have been long gone, everyone I know is struggling week to week! But the rich keep getting richer! tdemex

I know, the market is so bad right now. I got my bachelors' degree in December and that hasn't helped me anymore in finding a job. The job I got fired from was the same on I had through school. Lol, my degree is in Finance. Perfect timing, huh?

I install assembly lines and do mechanical engineering. Working in robotics, tooling, and transfer systems. I've had to dumb down my resume and have 2 of them and that still isn''t helping! On a good note I've seen an increase in job demand in the last 6 weeks! May be we'll get lucky! tdemex

hey, thats too bad. i hope you find a job soonest! some places make you wait several weeks before you can start collecting. have you thought about any sort of retraining? here in canada, EI (employment insurance) is offering lots of retraining courses.

Yeah, here in Arkansas, they don't really offer anything like that. The good thing is I only have to wait 1 week before I get my first check from the government. I have thought about doing some extra courses, though.
