You can collect unemployment while working part time. For instance if you only work 25 hours a week, you can claim the other 15 hours as unemployed. There's information and a payment calculator on the unemployment website. Hope that helps.

Congrats to the job! Even if it's not the most ideal scenario, it looks half decent on a resume that you have the ambition to work two jobs at once. Shows people the depth of character, that you willingly did what it took to get things done. I think it will speak volumes.

A week ago on a whim I decided to delete my milwaukeejobs account and start from fresh. I re-configured my resume to look all tidy and different, almost like I was a whole new job applicant. I figured maybe I'd look more fresh to the companies looking for employees. I'm almost positive (but have no way to prove) that companies can see how long a profile has been there. Within 5 minutes of re-posting my fresh new resume I had someone call me. It was a staffing agency. I'm not a huge fan, due to really bad experiences, but wanted to just give it a chance. The worst that could happen was I would just have to say no. For the first time ever I had a recruiter go out of his way to get me the position. I interviewed with him like an hour after his call and was all set for an interview with the company the next day. He called me like 4 times to wish me luck, tell me I'd do fine, remind me to have questions prepared, and any helpful hint he could think of. He made sure to call the company to reiterate my strong qualities and portrayed me in the best light. I did get the job, which is part time, but set hours and days. So for those still looking, hang in there. Maybe try refreshing your resume (and PM me if you would like my recruiter's information, I would love to give him more quality people to work with)

I've noticed that a lot of folks use the terms interchangeably. According to the dictionary; it's a personnel recruiter. There doesn't seem to be very many any more, since just about everyone uses online applications or job boards. I've used two temp agencies, and let me tell you, they are so busy with all the folks on unemployment, that they become less than personal. I had been with the first one for almost a year, at the same job. When I was laid off, they promised up and down that they'd call if something fit my resume. I never heard from them again. Coincdently, the exact same job I was laid off from was posted on Milwaukeejobs. and careerbuilder like a month after I was laid off. The second agency was just as bad. I'm not saying they are all bad. There is a lot of companies using them just so the workforce is more disposable. It is great for the companies, not so much for the workers. It is really rough out there. I had been off for 11 months, worked for a company for 4 months, laid off again, and have been scraping by with 2 (now 1) part time jobs. I know I'm not much help, and not much of a contact either, but I'm in a similar boat and feel the pain.
