Ok, I was employeed at a company for 5 years and it completely closed forcing me to go on unemployment. I have never been unemployeed since the day I’ve been able to work at 16. It’s been about 9 months now of trying to find a job. I apply to everything and just cannot get a job. I even went back to school to brush up my skills during this ordeal. Now I just need a job even more for survival. In sheer desperation I applied at a temp agency. Ive been offered a 2 week job that starts in a few weeks. But now Im being told of all these horrible things like I will lose unemployment and be stuck in the temp world of waiting for jobs! I am freaking out, cause although unemployment was tiny compared to what I normally made, I made it work. But if I lose all income…Im screwed. I could last a week or so if it took that much time for unemployment to start back up after the 2 week job. But if after that 2 weeks, Im faced with nothing and no job prospects, I don’t know what to do. I have kicked the job search into high gear this week, with the hope of landing a job before I sign the final paperwork for this 2 week job. The worst part is I just dont know if Im making a terrible decision because I’ve never did temp work before. Does anyone have any words of advice? Im grown but I feel so freaken confused and sad
