Lessons learned
This will probably be my last post to the awful unemployment category, so I figure I’ll share some of my hard learned lessons with ya’ll.
1. Fill out the unemployment stuff in person. Doing it on the Internet makes it too easy to miss steps, and then you don’t get your checks.
2. Apply for crap jobs early. Early means the day after you get canned. Don’t wait for your unemployment to run out and your credit cards to redline, those bad jobs are harder to get than I realized.
3. Keep applying for jobs. Apply, apply, apply. Even if you already have a job, apply for others constantly. I’ll never go a week without submitting my resume somewhere again.
4. Buy a nice suit while you have a job. It hurts to have to drop five hundred bucks right when you can afford it least.
5. Stop drinking and smoking today. You’ll want liquor and nicotine more than you can imagine when you’re sitting at home all day, and it’s really not economically a good idea. Especially with the amount of smoking you can do when you’re on your couch all day. Who am I kidding? I’m not gonna do that one.
There ya go, don’t say Matt Moore never did anything for you. I’m off to remove TBOTCOTW from the webring of destitution.
