I have been out of work since December. I have over 20 year’s administrative assistance experience at a cpa firm making $68000 / year. I relocated and assumed with my experience I would have no trouble finding work. I was wrong. I am now in Grundy County and cannot find a job. I have customer service experience also. My unemployment will be running out next month. Any suggestions?

Hi, I am currently looking for work because my job is being eliminated at a hospital. I am making $36 an hour. I live in PA and work in Baltimore, MD because salaries are better. Could you share that information if they are still looking for employees?

👋🏻former Morris resident here. That kind of salary is going to be super hard to get. There are some state jobs in Joliet that pay decent but that process is arduous. I've ended up with a downtown job and it did take me about 8 months before I landed one. Check out Advocate Aurora Health. Before I took the job I have now I was offered an admin assistant position with them, fully remote. Only having to drive to Downers Grove to pick up the company equipment. The pay was less than what you were making, around 56k if I recall, but it could be something while you look.

Where were you living before? I ask because I know that can affect salary.

Is there a placement agency in your area? If so, you could interview with them so they can keep you in mind for opportunities that you would be a match for. Even a temp agency could get you through until you can find a permanent position. That’s what I did when I was laid off several years ago.

I’ve tried to avoid it since it’s a long commute but I have also applied there. I’ve submitted a lot of applications with few interviews. Not sure if it’s because I don’t have a degree or my age

How do you manage your money?

I only bring in a little over $2,600 a month. After paying all my expenses, I get to put away $500 a month in savings but don’t have much wiggle room for anything else, including going out money.

I’m very privileged to have a significant inheritance and zero debt of any kind. I really wonder how my peers who have student loans, car payments, and even children manage to pay their bills and live so comfortably. Please share if this is you!
