| Finding a new job is a pain
Two months of unemployment so far after quitting my job, and nothing has panned out as of yet, although I do have a few job offers I've been to 15 interviews so far. Must have spent 100 hours appyling to, studying for and going to interviews . Good thing I had a little money saved up.

I hate going on interviews.
I spent a summer (several years ago) looking for a job once. I sent out over 100 resumes and went to countless interviews and in the end I got a job I didn't even apply for... go figure.
Good luck in your search

Wishing you luck.
I too hate looking for jobs. The interview is where I get tongue tied. I seriously should be looking though.

I probably wouldn't even receive my first paycheck for another month, even if I took a job very soon! I actually had a 2nd car I sold that I owned outright that helped me foot the cost of unemployment.
