Dealing with unemployment - anyone else?

I'm not sure if this has been brought up yet, but you can go into forebearance due to economic hardship. It is not the best idea but by using the money you would use to pay off loans towards staying afloat in other areas it will be better for your credit than having overdue credit card bills or being evicted.

Do everything you can to stay current on bills, stay in your home etc. Do it for the cat do it for you

Employers do a credit search these days you know.

As for the shiny spangly fashion-forward resume, what were your teachers thinking?

Frame it, don't use it. Your resume gets scanned. Stuff like that does not show up or worse.
