You could try looking online there are a few websites that you could put a resume on and maybe find something that way

I've tried calling the unemployment office to get some ideas but they do not answer their phones.

Or you could look for some side jobs like cleaning or organizing things until you find something more permanent.
assistant

Yeah, i'm kinda old for that - LOL!!! My back would not hold up to that - and my salary wouldn't be comparable.

Yea it seems to be hard to get up with a lot of places at this time. Persistent is the key.
assistant

Well I hear that their offices are closed and you have to do everything online - so not sure if they can even help me.

Yes i understand right now is a very bad time to find anything with so many places closed. Do you have any family or friends to reach out to for help if needed?

Have you gave any thought to babysitting or are there any crafts you are good at making that maybe you could try to sell?
assistant

That would not be enough money. I would not be able to pay my bills.

I understand your concern there but it could help pay some as to help you not to get to far behind until you find something.
assistant

If i were you i would call your friend maybe she has some suggestions of things you could do based off of your skills.
assistant

she may be able to help - she could at least send me in the right direction of where to look and maybe how to freshen up my resume.
user

assistant
Reflection of feelings
