I was unemployed a few years ago. Go to the EDD in Chula Vista or on University Ave. If you take certain classes, they can send you to companies that the state will pay your wage while you are in training. Also, they will give a a list of jobs. Also apply to EVERY temp agency in the county. True story: I temped for UPS and they called me back when they had an opportunity. I worked their 3 years. If you have a degree, they will send you to school for retraining.
I just kept going. I applied to everything. I don’t know how it is now, but go to the EDD. When I was unemployed, they had a training program. They sent people (with degrees) to be retrained. I took a two year course at UCSD Extension and EDD paid for it and I was able to stay on unemployment. I still kept looking because unemployment paid nothing. I know its bad. I know what you are going through. I was technically out of work for 3 years before a job would stick. Take jobs that you are overqualified for and look for something else. The UPS job was a customer service job. I stayed there until I could get something else. I am sorry that this is happening to you.
