[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks to the administration I just lost my job. I’m freaking out & don’t know what to do. I am a single parent with no financial or physical support from my ex. I’ve never lost a job, always moved on my own accord. I’m terrified. [/quote]

need more context, what are you skills, what is your job, are you a fed or contractor? What are you looking for support, advise, encouragement? [/quote]

I won’t give too much away as people will be able to figure me out, but think workforce transformation, education, etc. I am pretty flexible. I have my masters. If all else fails I can go back to teaching but I really really don’t want to. I don’t know what I’m looking for I’m just so scared. My car is a few months from being paid off. I still have years on my mortgage. I’ve been applying to jobs basically since December and I’ve only had one interview. [/quote]

Do you have severance for a few months?

I would keep applying and work all contacts. Also, see if you can reach out to a head hunter and put your resume in with a temp agency/get yourself on the substitute teacher list. If you haven’t made a list of where you can cut back then you should and cut back on what you can now. Is your ex able to help at all in this situation. If they have a job and haven’t paid child support ever this may be the time you reach out and ask them to contribute. I’m really sorry this happened. [/quote]

I still don’t know about severance. News was delivered to me in a very haphazard way. We already live pretty frugally since I don’t make much money to begin with. I really only buy essentials and do my own nails/hair. I do have to pay someone to do my daughter’s hair but that’s just the game so that’s annoying. My ex is a garbage human being who lives 2 hrs away by plane and he hates my guts so any help from him is out of the question. I get the mandated $200/month for back child support, but that alone is gone on groceries or getting my kid’s hair done. [/quote]
