[QUOTE="klmno, post: 325959, member: 3699"] I truly understand. I work in a specialty field that is really hurting right now. I have found several companies have already gone out of business and I have forced myself to call people in this field that I never thought I could work for, but have had dealings with in the past. They have both been friendly and are trying to help me find something because they have had to lay off a lot of people this past year and are barely hanging on. This profession is VERY competitive so when it gets to a point where people in it are helping each other it only means one of two things- either there's a ton of work so no one feels a loss, or there is NO work and we start to feel compassion for each other. We are at the no work stage right now. I'm even telling them I'll take a temp position at entry level and I have a professional license and 20 years of experience. That wasn't meant to turn this into a thread about me- just to let you know that I understand. It is very hard to stay motivated in times like this. But, you'll get thru- just try to force yourself to do something to improve your chances each day. ((HUGS)) [/QUOTE]
