R. P., Pembroke, NH

I am a 42 year old unemployed IT Technician. I became unemployed in late May this year when my employer decided they couldn't afford to pay me.  My wife does work but she earns very little, I was the breadwinner in    the family. I have sent my resume to over 250 companies since June 2010 and have had 6 interviews all of which told me I was either overqualified or underqualified.  At this point I have started applying at fast food chains and janitorial companies but still cannot get hired.  I broke down crying during an interview yesterday because I cannot stop thinking about what will happen if I can't find a job that at least pays me 250 weekly.

I have lost my car because I had a choice to either lose the car or my apartment because I couldn't afford both nor did I have the security deposit money to move into another less expensive apartment.  I have 3 daughters, 2 of which I have to support directly and financially and if I cannot find a job we will be homeless by February of 2011.

I have never in my life been out of work this long and at this point all I am asking is for my government to extend the EUC to allow me a little more time to find a suitable job.
