- If you don't mind camping, its an extremely cheap way to live, and a gym / YMCA will help before interviews.
- If you have any friends / family, ask them if you can crash. Have a friend who lived this way for ages.
- If it comes to it, there are often abandoned structures that are reasonable for keeping rain off. Lived in an abandoned office building for a month at one point. That one was really lucky. Had a gym, water, and electricity still!
- Apply, apply, apply. Set a goal. X applications a day, where X is probably 3+. Beat that goal every day.
- Be humble, but not desperate. If its reasonable and will pay bills, worth it.
- Be willing to move. Frankly, CO is really expensive. People scoff at AL (cur. loc.), but it has NASA, Army, most 3 letter agencies, and every gov't contractor known to man. Also, rent is $400-600 and a house can be found for $30000-40000 if you're not picky.
- Sell all your stuff. Flea markets, craigslist, ebay, whatever works.
- If you get a job - save. There is no reason to lose a job and then only have $400.
- Send me a msg (email in profile) if the AL thing sounds reasonable. Used to be in software and a contract mgr., can at least look at whats around. Can't promise, as I left to walk the earth a while back.
