Ugh!!!

My contract ended unexpectedly, it wasn’t supposed to end until December. I’ve been very depressed because of losing this job going on unemployment, and food stamps. Not knowing how I’ll pay for rent

Or if I’ll ever get another job. I’m looking for job in my work experience and not much luck. Taking classes that unemployment provides in my state. Hoping to get a head. I feel hopeless and disappointment in myself. I can’t stop thinking about throwing in the towel because I feel this time I won’t find a job. I’m over 50 and it isn’t easy to find a job. I’ll keep pushing as long as I can. Sorry so long I just had to vent. Thank you!

Each contract that ends is a new possibility of finding the next one.

it is good that you are taking classes. What field do you work in?

[Jovra in reply to Nom-D-Ploom]

Human resource.

[Nom-D-Ploom in reply to Jovra]

Ahhh. I don't know much about what it takes or what the job market is like. You are taking classes to improve your marketability. It seems like you are on the right track. And who knows better than you what kind of applicant will be successful?

[Jovra in reply to Nom-D-Ploom]

Very true! I’m hoping something will come up. Going to a resume class tomorrow to see if I can fix my resume to look better.

[Nom-D-Ploom in reply to Jovra]

Good luck!

Thank you!!

I feel you and empathize with you. It is harder to find employment over 50. We have so much experience, wisdom, and self awareness that I wonder if we scare employers! I wish you good things in your search!

Thank you! I do pray something comes up quickly.
