well if you remember or not i got this job back in july

http://www.techexams.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=23911

I recently was let go on Jan. 10th It was a mutual decision between me and my employer, i was really told that i would be doing all cisco and all data. But when i got there they had me doing all voice because there was no data work. So i was doing like all nortel and some cme and stuff. So it just wasn't a good fit for me.

And i also relocated 250 miles away for this job icon_confused.gif

So, im currently trying to get unemployment and they said it could take 5-6 weeks for me to get my first payment. I've been on 2 interviews so far, nothing looks hopeful and those 2 jobs are the ONLY 2 openings in this area. I've looked all over the place and there is nothing.

I moved from pittsburgh where there are jobs EVERYWHERE, but i like my apartment and want to stay in this area. My lease is up in july. A part of my lease says that if i terminate it early, i still have to pay 1/2 months rent until it's up, or the landlord find someone to rent it out.

So basically here are my options:



1. Stay in this area, try to collect unemployment and look for jobs, if nothing is found by july i just move back to pittsburgh. But i might not even see any unemployment for the next 6 weeks, so my parents will prolly have to help me out a little bit.

2. Move back to pittsburgh now, have to pay half of the rent for the next 5 months but prolly get a job relatively quickly. This would require moving back in with my parents .

i mean i would opt for the 1st option, but i hate the idea of just sitting around waiting for jobs to open up. I want to work!

help? icon_eek.gif

    Are you allowed to sub-lease in your apartment? That might be an option.

    Otherwise, get a job...any job. Anything is better than sitting around relying on your parents to provide for you.

    Did you make any contacts with vendors or other companies while working the position? I would try to call anyone to see if they know of any opportunities available. Also you may want to try and contact some staffing firms for some possible contract positions.

    well i was thinking about that, but i would make more money on unemployment than i would working full-time at like best-buy or something. Um, i don't think i can sub-lease my apartment, i wouldn't want to do that anyways because it's not big enough

    yea, i do have some inside info from working with customers from my last position so i'll make some calls or emails even though they might not be hiring good idea!

    You can have someone else live there once you move out....you don't have to live there with them:

    yea i could see that but once i move out they would try to rent it out anyways so, i think i would just leave it to them.

    i like the area alot shed, so i guess i might just try to stick it out until july and look for oppurtunities.
