If you find yourself suddenly unemployed, you need to take action right away. Some of the first things you need to do are apply for unemployment with WorkSource and apply for food stamps through DSHS. You may also want to contact the various community resources to talk about rental assistance and utility assistance. These agencies include OlyCAP and Serenity House. Also check out the area food banks. Talk to any of the above agencies about getting a list of community resources and how to use them.

If you know of any Alaskan Native or Native American that has physical or mental disabilities and is having a hard time looking for work, ask them to contact me at 360-460-7549. We have two counselors that could help you.

Food banks are in places of need throughout Jefferson and Clallam counties. They are a necessary fixture in each community. It's hard to predict when or if you or your family will ever need the services of a food bank. If you become unemployed, you will find that using the resources located in an area can help you and your family survive hard times until you can become employed again. When I went back to school, I became familiar with food banks and food pantries in the area. Talk to your nearest social services rep in your area to find food banks in your area. They can really help.

These two counties on the north coast of Washington have relatively high unemployment rates compared to neighboring counties such as Kitsap, Pierce, King and Snohomish counties. It is very tempting to just get up and move to these locations since commuting may be just too far to go and back five days a week. Here is a list of things to consider when making a move to that job in a different locale.

1) Cost to move (moving van, rent, deposits, moving helpers, gas, etc)
2) Brand new (where are the schools, shopping areas, no friends or relatives)
3) New area characteristics (crime, neighborhood atmosphere, weather)

Making a move for a job may be a good career move, but it will result in you starting over again. Military members and dependents live this life. So do some people whose jobs involve a lot of displacement. Others prefer to stay in one area, even though this might hurt them financially. They prefer setting down roots, no matter the cost. Make your choice wisely.

Some jobs give a clear closing date. Even still, they sometimes extend this closing date if their applicant pool did not give them an adequate amount of personnel to choose from. Other jobs state "Open until Filled" or something similar. Basically, when the human resources/hiring manager reaches a certain amount of applicants, they will close the job and review the job seekers documents. So, it would be wise to apply for a job listing that has a closing option of "Open until Filled" as soon as possible. In addition, it is even a good idea to apply early for a job with a clear closing date. There are instances when a job opening receives an abundance of applications forcing the hiring agency to close the job sooner.
