I was unemployed for a while in late 2010, early 2011 and was constantly on the job search. I was a line cook previously and was looking for similar work. I finally got in at a sports bar, but they only had an opening for a host at the time, so I took it. When I went in on my third day, I found that the place had fucking burned down.
I was unemployed for another few months before finding a new job. That was a rough year or so lol.
Were you on EI still when you found the job?
That'd be a fun story to tell them why you need to restart it.
