[Jobs] Loss Of Job... Riding The Emotional Roller-coaster

[Sharonda Greenlaw]

Richard,
I've dealt with this situation for seven months since I left my job in
Detroit, MI and moved to Arizona. As you saw on the list, I haven't
had a job in eight months.
I don't  know what advice I can offer, but I'll try.
Feel free to write me privately at:
