Still unemployed, should I hold out or just take a whatever job?

I have been working as a supervisor/trainer for the last ten years in the call center industry. I became unemployed last Thanksgiving weekend and have been on unemployment since then. I have searched and applied to so many jobs Im really starting to get frustrated. And in the middle of this, my husband of 10 years and I discussed and agreed on getting divorced. I cant get out of the house and move on with my life until I have employment! Should I just take a lower paying representative job so that I can afford to move out or wait it out? My unemployment benefits arent too much, they're the max the state allows but I can only be on it 2 more months! Its really starting to feel uncomfortable at home..and I want the kids to move with me. I cant afford the house. I mean he's not pushing me out, but its time for me to go. What would you do? I have the experiance to supervise, train or hire but nothing is available out here. Also, I tried the employment agency route-only rep jobs there.

    Given those circumstances, you need a job Pronto! Take whatever you can get as soon as you can get it!

    And don't be so hasty to move just yet. If he's not pushing you, ride it out a little bit. Getting out of the house to go to work should make it a little easier, because you won't be stuck there 24 / 7. Save whatever money you can.

    You and he should also talk about custody and support. If he's willing to pay support, that is extra income to help you afford a place. Is he willing to move out and let you have the house? How about sell the house and split the money? These suggestions need to be worked out with him. Get yourself an attorney.

    But yeah, take the job!

    Good luck!
