I'm with you... got laid off 3 months ago and have found exactly zero work. I'm in the tech sector, which is the wrong place to be right now! I've broken down and told my headhunters to start looking for things in NYC, even though it's a 2 hour commute each way.

See if your unemployment office will let you file by phone. (Connecticut actually makes you file by phone - no waiting in line - whew )

Try to find something in your field, but also train for something that's close to your field. For example (I'll pick on software since it's my field) if you're a C++ programmer, look for C++ jobs, but while you're doing that, go learn Java. Go for a certification, since you won't have the on-the-job experience to sell yourself as a Java programmer. Once you're certified, you can look for two types of jobs.

valkyrie, I like the way you think!
