The job I lost

I use to work for a urologist and, well, let's just say he laid me off he was over staffed and could not pay all his employees. I miss not being able to work. I'm doing my best to get a job.

What it's like being unemployed

I have been unemployed for 2y ears in Miami, Florida. I exceeded my benefits already. I'm hoping for an extension I'm praying that it does go through So I can at least pay some of my bills.

I have been actively looking for a job and let me say it has been discouraging there way to many competition out there. I have been thinking about going back to school but I will have to see how i can do that with out money.

Advice

  • That I have to go back to school to see if I can get a job!
