job eliminated today

[smokey the elder]

One thing that helped me is to let all your contacts and friends, family etc. know you're looking. I got a really neat job once by telling someone I sang with that I had gotten fired over the summer, and they were looking for a temp for a year or two.

Also, depending on your relationship with your credit card banks, you might want to contact them ASAP to let them know. This can be risky and backfire, and I would guess depends on your balance.

Good luck!

I completely agree with smokey's statement about calling your credit card companies. Insist that they put it in your record that you have called.
If you need to negotiate a smaller than normal payment - tell them and see if they will work with you. The last thing you need right now is bad credit for your future. As long as you make some attempt - it is much better than doing nothing.

In the meantime - you have my prayers that a wonderful job will open up soon and solve your problems.

Don't let yourself get too down - we are all here for you.

Hugs to you.
