Dealing with unemployment - anyone else?

[shootingstar]

I'm hoping I kept my Polish citizenship when I was naturalized (I was 3, naturalized as a refugee), because if that's the case then I have membership in the EU.

I have a friend that did this quite regularly to England and was deported a few times back to the U.S. (free trip home?) and now he's gone back there and gotten married and has a job.

Looks like the Europe option is next stage? Hopefully after getting a job in U.S. to pay off some of your credit card debt 'cause it'll just repile up faster when you start off in Europe with the euro currency that's stronger. Family and friends only tolerate free visits for ...not long.

How far will you go....landscaping, farm work? I knew women who did the traffic control work on construction sites... These are areas that will accept resourceful people who will work hard temporarily for a few months.

And don't look to get yourself deported...like that friend of yours. It'll be probably recorded somewhere permanently with a federal govn't dept.

Yes, of course employers do look for "fit". As you know, you can use any public library to check your email account, jobs. If you apply for any office job, do not eliminate your degree at all. General trend is that many employers seem to accept the notion that even lower office jobs can be filled just fine by university/college grads. Try to view the reality that finishing a college/university degree means that you are capable of reaching a goal in a structured way.

There's several of us in TE forum looking around for work...including myself. Life can pull some unexpected punches... at any time.
