Date: August 26th, 2010 2:17 AM Author: Supple Fantasy-prone School Haunted Graveyard firms will realize you're trying to trade up to more sophisticated work. if you're concerned, you can always leave it off, but your resume, as is, hasn't done much for you to date.
i'd put it on, "2010-present." for all they know you've been there since january. resume's just to get an interview. explain the trade-up rationale once you're speaking with someone in hiring authority. i suspect, however, you'll be looking for a long while before the next opportunity presents. |

|
Date: August 26th, 2010 3:07 PM Author: House-broken Big Feces Cruise Ship Yea, I think the Republican opposition last time was election posturing.
The next expiration date is late November, so by then I think an extension is likely.
But still, you never know. |
|
Date: August 26th, 2010 3:13 PM Author: Misunderstood histrionic background story It'll probably be extended. But then again, no action on those who have exhausted 99 weeks, and the COBRA subsidy is gone. So who knows. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1405486&forum_id=2#15886773) |
|
Date: August 26th, 2010 3:15 PM Author: House-broken Big Feces Cruise Ship There are some rumblings for another tier (so beyond 99 weeks) of UE, since the number of 99ers is growing. I think some congresswoman introduced legislation on it, but it's not expected to go anywhere.
But if unemployment keeps rising (as I expect) and the long-term unemployed grow in number (basically a certainty), they might consider extending beyond 99 weeks |

|
Date: August 26th, 2010 3:19 PM Author: House-broken Big Feces Cruise Ship You are preaching to the converted. I'm unemployed yet moving up to the Bay Area (probably highest COL after NYC) next week.
But if I was single and could otherwise draw down unemployment, I'd probably go live in Nevada or some shit |
|
Date: August 26th, 2010 3:19 PM Author: Splenetic hairy legs giraffe food and loans and shit.
obviously it's doable, but I would have moved home long before then - if it was an option. |
