Friday 13 was my last day there. got a couple leads on jobs, one with a lot less responsibility and only $0.50 less than what I was making and a state job. then some manufacturing jobs...

I haven't been approved for unemployment yet. should find out soon.

I got fired on Friday 13th too. Sounds like you're about in the same place as far as looking for jobs as I am...except I haven't filed for unemployment since I haven't seen my slip yet....

I've never gotten a slip so don't know what you are talking about. they had a piece of paper for me to sign saying that I had been explained why I was fired. it didn't say why I was, just that it had been explained to me.

there is only a 1 week waiting period here and it starts when you file not (like MO) when you were let go.

I've sent out several resume's and gone and filled out 1 app. for a state job doing floors in a mental hospital. much less responsibility than the job I just left and damn near the same money.

funny how most jobs listed don't want you to come see them in person unless they call you. they want you to send them a resume and that's it. no physical address in the add for you to even go pester them for a job.

I have found some listings for up to $18/hr though in manufacturing which is more than I was making.

This company typically gives you a pink slip, as they call it, if they fire you. You usually get it with your last check, but I didn't it.

Yeah, I've noticed most jobs, even in the newspaper, don't give you an address to go pester...sometimes a phone number, but oftentimes they want a resume faxed or emailed or tell you to go to their website and apply online.

I don't quite have mine under control. I'm getting better at it, but still not quite there yet.
