I am approved for unemployment benefits and will get back pay for the last 3 weeks I've been unemployed.

I've calculated that I won't have to dip into my bank loan until March 1st. Then, I am screwed from there on out and will need the bank loan to help support myself, in addition to unemployment benefits. That gives me 3 weeks to get a job.

I've applied to 7 jobs since Sunday.

Only 1 interview this week, but I think this one could be a great fit for my skill set. I am meeting with the company CEO - which I love to do because they're the ones in charge. Hopefully, he will give me some time to ask questions, but I don't anticipate that happening since the call is only a half hour. I've learned that when it's a first interview and only a half an hour, that they get to run the show and take up the full half hour with their questions. The last CEO I met with only gave me the last 2 minutes to ask any questions I had.

I have a good feeling about this company - I like what they have to offer and it's a bit different than most digital marketing agencies. They also offer web design in Wordpress and CRO services - conversion rate optimization - which is something I know a bit about and would love to learn more about. CRO means getting website visitors to convert to buying customers through various optimization tactics on the website. It's different than SEO, what I do, which is about driving the right traffic to a website.

Anyways, I have to prep well for this interview, beginning this morning. I took yesterday off - I was entirely burnt out, and mainly from listening to a friend all about his own abusive relationship. I realize that I really don't have the bandwidth right now to listen much to other people's problems. I am tapped out with all my own problems.
