Hi all,
This past June, the company I work for decided to close down our branch office before selling the rest of the company. I lost my job July 31st and have not been successful at finding work, even though I started looking immediately after we got the news. I've been sending resumes out every week since my lay off, but no luck. I'm coming to terms with the fact that I may have to go outside my industry to find work until my industry picks back up.
I am collecting unemployment benefits (something I hoped I'd never have to do). Unfortunately, my monthly bills total more than I receive monthly on unemployment.
I need some job suggestions from people. I'm looking for something that pays more than minimum wage because even minimum wage won't pay my monthly bills. All I've ever done has been drafting & design work for the oil & gas industry. I don't even know where to start looking for other jobs that would pay more than minimum wage. Anyone have any suggestions for me?
