I am sorry to hear that. Why is it that you are losing your job?

Question
The company just has to make cut backs and a lot of us are being furloughed. (2)

I had the same situation not too long ago when the IT department I worked for realigned and my position was cut and I was laid off, so I completely understand the situation.

Just from sharing a few messages with you, I can tell how anxious you are about this,

I've tried to get in touch with the unemployment office, but they are not answering the phones there I guess (5)

Ours does not even appear to be open. I thought they would be able to provide some help. (6)

I would think that would be a good resource to start. Have you updated your resume and cover letter?
assistant
Providing Suggestions
No I need to do both of those things. I have not needed a resume for over 10 years (7)
user

I would definitely update both, it helps to show new employers all of your relevant experience and what you have been doing.
assistant
Providing Suggestions
Yes I will have to look into the new ways people do them now. I'm sure things have changed (8)

Another thing that might help would be to talk to the others who are being furloughed and see what plans they have to get through this,
assistant
Providing Suggestions
I thought about that but then worried we'd be looking for the same jobs and they may not want to share tips (9)
user

I think they would be more than willing to share tips! Networking is great!
