At 45 years old I am unemployed for the first time in my life!! I live in Rock Hill South Carolina, however I am back in Washington, DC looking for work. Love my home in South Carolina, but I know in order to keep it I have to go outside that area to look for work as a Legal Secretary or Executive Assistant.

I am drawing unemployment and would love to take the Summer off and look for work early fall. By then I am hoping that something in my field will open up.

Question?

How would you spend this time would you take the summer off and look for work in the Fall (September)? happy

Or would you look for work right away? frown

Love it

- Look for work right away as you might have big regrets later ........ I know it’s very nice to think of lazy summer days now but cold dark winter days with no job prospect is not good - thats my thoughts honey

- I would take some time off but probably not too much time, as UK Girl says the lack of prospects later could lead to regrets, good luck with your job search, we are here for you.

- I agree with Neicy, even thought some time off does sound real good, It’s just better to start looking now. I hope you find what your looking for.
