Electrical engineering.What is/was your line of work?
This past week I was offered a fire alarm job in San Antonio, Texas. I turned it down. I'm gettin' all excited about goin' on the dole.........not really...........I turned it down because I live just down the street from my mothers nursing home and her doctor's gave her 2 years (at the most), which was a year-and-a-half ago. I'm not going anywhere in the next 6 months, even if I have to live in the bush outside her window.Have you considered relocation? I think that more of us are going to have to consider changing locations like people did back in the great depression. I have heard that there are electrical engineering jobs in areas with fracking, i.e., North Dakota, Pennsylvania, etc.
I sent out 3 more resume's today.Don't take this lying down. Keep up the search and do whatever it takes...The best of luck to you!

I even applied at an abortion clinic as a handyman. It's funny, the final question on the application was, "What is your definition of pro-choice in your own words?"
This was my reply (verbatum):
"I have no opinion on the abortion issue whatsoever. I don't carry babies; I don't have babies; it's not my call; it's not my dance. It is a total non-issue in my world".
I probably won't get that job.
I didn't really care, like I do the abortion issue.do you think your response answered their question?

Well, I'm certainly not going to lie on a job application!then you didn't *want* the job.

I have lost my job and hope to be on welfare soon.
I have constantly been employed, 40 hours a week, 50 weeks a year, since 1973. I've sent out resumes every day and my un-employment insurance is running out. I've applied for every kind of job imaginable. I've even applied for "general labor" jobs and have gotten no responses.
I've had no choice but to apply for welfare if I don't want to be living in the streets.
Now my question is, how can anyone consider I am a bum?

The welfare application was the social services worker's idea, not mine. I actually was in there to file for "disability", because I've been diagnosed with heart failure. If they approve my disability claim, he told me I'd get $1772/mo. After we got all that taken care of and I gave him the phone numbers for my medical records, he asked me if I applied for SSI? He said "anyone can apply for that" and I "might as well", in case I'm not approved for disability. Even if I do get approved, my first check won't come in until mid-December. In the meantime, I've might get my un-employment back until January 13, 2013.Good luck with finding a job. Despite the claims welfare is living high on the hog, the system is really not going to be as great for you as unemployment. It doesn't consider your expenses or past salaries. You don't get more for higher contributions. You will have problems getting it with large assets especially if you get help from family to keep them. Unless you have children and qualify for family assistance you will probably receive about 200 dollars a month which can only be spent on food. You will not get gas money to find a job. You will not get money to help you keep your car on the road. You won't even get help with public transportation to keep looking for a job. You will have trouble getting money for rent, and if you do you will probably need to be in section 8 housing. New clothes for interviews, forget it. Washing your old clothes so you do not stink in an interview, forget it. Oh, and wait until you apply for a job with some good pay and they check your credit rating and find out you have defaulted on credit cards and are on welfare, then you can forget those jobs. being on welfare is like having a criminal record when it comes to much more than minimum wage jobs.
If you can do without the 200 a month in food support I would suggest you do it. This is a label that employers can and do find out about. In a time when there are lots of prospective employees for jobs the label of being on welfare is a great way to get your resume tossed. Being on welfare is a great way to continue to be on welfare. Despite the claims many of those people are lazy and good for nothing, it really is not true. Many people take the support only to find out the stigma effects their future employment.
Just a bit of advice.
Their names were Liza and Rhonda.Had us going there. Yes you are a bum.
Working all that time as an electrical engineer, you should have enough savings to last for years.
Gambling, women, or drugs?
