Help needed asap! I’ve been applying to Recruitment Coordinator roles for 5 months with no sign of hope. I have a lot of unique experiences on my resume including working at a staffing agency, but no one has given me a chance. I understand that it’s not what you know, but who you know yet the connections I’ve made on LinkedIn have been unable to point me in any fruitful direction. At this point my savings is rapidly depleting and I need a position. Any leads on recruitment/administration roles?

Thoughts on Indexed Universal Life Insurance as an investment vehicle? I hear the pros and cons from the sellers of this, whom I understand gain heavy commissions. But wanted to get thoughts from investors and if this isn't a good vehicle, what alternative investment vehicles do you suggest (outside of stocks, Roth, 401k, and real estate)? Looking to diversify my portfolio.

I'm 43, married, income 600k combined, and we have 2 properties worth 3m and investment accounts worth ~2-3m.

Thanks!
