Immediately Apply For Unemployment!

One of your first priorities during the job-search process should be finding
an immediate source of income. If you've been employed up to this point,
you probably have unemployment compensation coming from your state.

Admittedly, it's a difficult thing for people who have worked hard to request
unemployment. "Go on the dole," as they say in Europe. It's like there's a
stigma attached to being laid off, down-sized, or let go. However, while you
were working you paid into a fund for this exact purpose, and now is the time
to take advantage of those payments.

Swallow your pride, visit your local Department Of Labor, and sign up. It's
your money, so use it to cover expenses while you're job hunting!

Our time-tested, easy-to-use approach involves upfront planning and hard
work. However, you can implement it in only a few weeks, with positive
results possible within a month.

As soon as possible after you become unemployed, stop by your closest
Department Of Labor (DOL) office and sign up for benefits. You earned
them...you deserve them...go ahead and collect them!

In addition to income, you'll have access to valuable DOL information
sources, including office equipment, work space, and services you can
apply in your job search.

Another reason for you to go to the Department Of Labor is to avail
yourself of the services offered through its Career Center. At the Center,
you'll get help with job hunting, veteran's groups, Job Corps Training,
and vocational rehabilitation.
And, if you don't have access to a computer, the Internet, copy and fax
machines, and other office equipment, you'll find all these items there,
as well as a resource room and myriad job listings. Again, you've paid
for these services, so take advantage of them!

Above all, good luck in your job search!
