I hear that showing an attitude on a job interview won't get you a job either.

If you are as lovely in person as you are in this forum, I don't know why they wouldn't hire you?

Not everyone here is unemployed, that is a subforum - some people here are gainfully employed. I'm sorry to hear you are going through a rough patch, but I would recommend deleting your resume details, it's pretty specific and you really don't want these posts to be read by a future employer.

In my area there are food banks and churches that help feed the unemployed. Have you looked into that as a source of food?

I understand. Being unemployed sucks and you are entittled to have a bad. It is worse if you are financially independent without any income coming in.

I'm sorry you are going through this. I know this is tough and you are venting. I hope it turns around for you soon!

If you are not working, you can get food stamps in most states (all??) There are some charities that help with rent, food, utility assistance. Try calling 211, they have listings of help agencies. Or try Salvation Army.

Best wishes!

I think it's been said that doing the same thing over and over but expecting a different result is a sign that you are crazy!

Maybe you should start doing something different to find a way to make money and enjoy your life.
