[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. I think it can be a bit depressing to lose a job. It's like being majorly rejected. It takes some time to process, so getting on her about procrastinating about signing up for unemployment is not cool.

2. She has already had a number of interviews already, so what are you sweating about? If she is out there actively trying to find work and getting interviews, then just keep encouraging her because frankly that can be very draining as well.

3. Start worrying if she stops actively looking or [b]if she hasn't found a new job after 6 months.[/b] Otherwise just support her and let her be.[/quote]

How does one survive with no income for 6 months with very little savings?  Honestly, I would be very worried if it happened to me...and I'm sure she is very worried.  Is she looking for jobs in her field or looking for anything that will pay the bills?[/quote]

OP here. I am sending her links to jobs within her field. I am not sure if she is doing any searching beyond that.[/quote]

Sending links is not helpful. That's the easy part. Do you have a network or contacts that would hook her up ?

I would be more sympathetic to your position if you said "I've given my gf contacts in my network who have jobs available for her and she doesn't want to talk to them"[/quote]
