Hey Ladies, I was wondering if you couple help me out. It appears I was laid off from my part time job while away for Thanksgiving...got a letter in the mail while I was gone, nice, huh? Anyways, I didn't know if I could file for unemployment or not. Besides it not being a good time of year to lose a job, that paid for my youngest daughter's preschool and their gymnastics, it wasn't much, but it still helped. When it gets a little later I am going to call one of my co-workers just to make sure it wasn't only me...any thoughts??? Thanks!

What can I do next?

Yes, if you were laid off through no fault of your own then you can claim unemployment. In fact, it doesn't even matter if it was just you - so long as you did nothing for cause such as not coming in when scheduled, failure to follow through on responsibilities, etc. However, the amount you can get will not be much, it is a calculation based upon a percentage of how much you were making and for how long you were working. So for example, if you only had the job a few months and weren't making much to begin with, you will barely get anything. The other catch is that you must be currently looking for a job and provide documentation of interviews and applications. It may not be worth your hassle for such a small amount. Sorry you have to go through this. At least with the holidays here, you can easily get a temporary retail help job to tide you over. I actually used to love working retail at Christmas. It can be a lot of fun at the right store. Good luck and here is more info: http://www.twc.state.tx.us

Have you ever thought about a part time job for Curves??
Curves for Women is a great part time job. It's not 8 hrs at a time, actually half that!! Shifts are 3 to 4 hours which would be perfect for your little girls! I started when my son was first born, looking for something that I could feed him, put him down for a nap and be back before he's hungry again!
You have a free membership, flexible hours and the owners and Arapaho and West Shore are amazing!!
If you live near Richardson, I would recommend looking into this! We're going to have a position open up soon so come by and grab an application!
If you have any questions- Just us a call ###-###-####

Hi N.,

Check with the Texas Workforce Commission - I believe you are qualified (no matter how many or few folks were laid off with you). My only concern is that it was a part time job. That may effect things.

Also, dont be concerned about the time of year. The holiday season, believe it or not, is actually one of the best times of the year to land a job (I work for an career transition company: for the last five years more of our candidates have landed during the 4th quarter and especially the holidays than any other time of year - all types of positions, levels of experience, and industries). Its a great time to network, many companies need help during the holidays, budgets need to be used up before the end of the year (or year end does not effect their fiscal year),etc. Dont postpone your search for fear no one will talk to you now - calendar dates do not effect employment needs!

Good luck!!

Hi N.!

Sorry to hear about your job! That was completely unprofessional on their part! I wanted to share something with you that completely changed my life!

I am a full-time SAHM and I still contribute to our family income. I am a Representative for Silpada Designs Jewelry. I leave the house for very few hours a week in the evenings and on weekends when my husband is home, so we save on childcare costs and anxiety! The rest of the time, I work from home. This has saved me! It is a party plan business and I guarantee it's much more profitable than Avon! (I'm not knocking Avon, I actually like their products! :)

I average about $75-100 an hour. I get 30% of everything I sell. Hostesses receive free jewelry for having a Show. You can't beat it! Anyone can do this! Browse my website below and go to the Business Opportunity section to learn more. I make GOOD money and I'm surrounded by a huge support system. I can even earn free vacations. It has impacted my life in an amazing way!

I wanted to share this with you in case it could impact your life too. Visit my website and see if this fits into your life. Call me anytime ###-###-#### - I would gladly answer any questions you may have. Let me know if I can help you in any way! Did I mention it was also FUN?!?
