I am a very concerned citizen with the unemployment. I have been unemployed since March 1, 2013. I am currently working a part time job getting 12 to 16 hours a week. This is not enough money for me to live on. I am waiting for congress to vote on an extension.
I can't believe I am in this situation. I always receive compliments on my resume for secretarial work. But there is always someone with more skills. I don't believe this. I have stayed up to date on all technology throughout the years. This is the first time in my life that I have been unemployed. Now I have heard that I will be losing the current job that I am in. I don't know how I am going to live. I apply for jobs every day sometimes up to 10 jobs a day.
I feel that my age "56" is coming into play and keeping me from getting a job. I have way more experience that any college student just coming out of college. You need people from the real world that have experienced all issues.
They need to extend the unemployment as soon as possible. I am in a bind and it is going to get worse.
