US A MA
Life for the unemployed is often bewildering and disorienting. None of us knew what to do when we were first made redundant or lost our jobs, or got ourselves fired. These things have happened to most of us, you are not alone and there is no shame in asking for advice on how to survive and get back on our feet.
So this thread is opened by popular request (from 3 vociferous friends on the similarly-titled thread for the Older Unemployed!) to offer advice to unemployed people of *any* age, on how and what you can do to help you to get a new job, or maybe just how to go about surviving during long unemployment.
So don't be shy or ashamed, but please ask, tell us your situation, tell us your problems, and we will try to help as best we can. You will get moral support and good advice, from people who have experienced it, that helps you to feel better, your load feels lighter, and your outlook feels brighter, and we will have achieved something for you to help you on your way to a job and secure future.
And you will always have a place to come back and offer your own experience and advice to others when the time comes.
