Call up some marketing research places and sign up for their studies. You can get paid $50- $100 for tasting pizza, talking about shaving gel, etc. And don't lie to try to qualify for a study - you never know what they are looking for.

I took advantage of all my free time when I was laid off to learn some new skills via home study. I would get up around 10, hit Starbuck's, then go down to the local beach and read my textbooks. Great way to learn and pass the time.

Its usually ( are there any exceptions? ) a % of previous wages up to a maximum $ amount; these payments are made for a certain number of weeks based on number of weeks you worked since last collecting, up to a maximum number of weeks. I think many states the maximum is around 6 months now.

I think the point is it sounds like you are blasting out your resume instead of networking into companies. Go to the networking meetings they have there - proabably at night. There are probably job boards tied into the some of the networking groups too.
