[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is she on unemployment? The good thing about being on UE is that you are required to submit with your claim every week three job to which you have applied and keep a record of your job search efforts, as least in my state. I found this very motivating to job search even when I was depressed.

Maybe you should encourage her to start a record of her search she should set a goal with a reward after that. Like, one application submitted and I get to watch tv for half an hour or call a friend to chat.[/quote]

This is a horrible idea and would definitely make her resent you. I don't know what field she's in, but it may make her feel better to get a job waiting tables or something where at least she can get out of the house, socialize with other people and earn some cash so she doesn't feel like a completely helpless person. But unfortunately this is a really bad time for 20-somethings with little work experience to find a job. It may take a while for her to get a break somewhere. [/quote]
