Finding work during the Pandemic is possible!
The Pandemic has greatly impacted the economy VERY quickly! You may have been impacted or expect to be laid off any day now.
- First…take a deep breath and repeat “this too shall pass”….and it will. First, if you are eligible you should file for Texas unemployment at https://www.twc.texas.gov/jobseekers/applying-unemployment-benefits.
- Second, look for work. Even if you are eligible to collect unemployment, you will not receive as much as if you are working. Your earnings will be offset to make you whole if you are limited in your hours/ compensation.
- Third, humble yourself on what you would be paid and what you are qualified for. This is a short moment in time and a temporary job does not reflect on your entire career. The most respectable money you can get is the one you earned.
Here are a few companies or industries that are hiring, paying a fair wage and could offer exceptional benefits for you and your family:
