Being unemployed can be a challenging chapter of your life, but there are things you can do to stay financially and emotionally sound including the following:
Cut Unnecessary Spending from Your Budget
Think of what you MUST spend money on vs. what you WANT to spend money on
Create a New Budget
Call utilities to see if you qualify for discounted rates, call your insurance companies and see if you are eligible for any discounts, utilize coupons and shop at stores known for lower prices
Update Your Resume
If you are not scheduling interviews, it could be that your resume is causing you to be screened out

View your sites as if you were a potential employer reading the content and viewing the pictures
Assess the Direction of Your Career
If you did not “love” your last job, research other industries you might enjoy or positions that would be a better fit
