I am a 58 Caucasian woman and I lost her job in July 2007 for no “constructive reason”. My former employer hired me in 2003 for a yearly salary of 42500. My salary when I left in July 2007 was 53000.While I have 30 years of experience in the industry, I job titles do not include underwriting or claims processing.All of my job interviews to date have been for sales jobs that offer no base salary. While I also have some experience in Technical Writing Technical Writers are now expected to have more technical skills than those required in my last Technical Writing job in 2002. Therefore, it seems that I will need further education to becompetitive in insurance or technical writing. My unemployment benefits expired in February 2008, and I am currently looking or temp Jobs until I have a full time position. My mom, who is 86, has been helping me with the rent and I have cashed in a portion of my 401k plan. Thankfully, Uncle Sam sent me tax refund that provided temporary assistance.I also have to pay for my COBRA medicalinsurance each month that is 417.05There are also living expenses that include food, medications, car repair, etc . A friend of my mom told her that I may be eligible for Federal Assistance.However, I do not know to find apply. I never expected to be in this position. Any assistance that you can offer will be greatly appreciated.
