I read your profile and you have lots of work experience including a degree in science.
Was there a reason for going on unemployment,example lack of work in your area?
Is there specific advice your looking for?

Yes, don't put any job as too low, apply online to at least 20 jobs a day and go in person to at least 10.

But on the website of the unemployment office it says to apply in person or by resume? And it says I only have to apply for two jobs a week to qualify to get my payment for unemployment? And do you mean apply at www.oklahomajoblink.com by "apply online"? I sure appreciate the advice since I have never done this before.

Are you thinking about a different career path?
Would you like to go back to education?
Start your own business?

I'd suggest apply to more places than is needed. You don't want to be on unemployment forever.. you don't get that much money. I'd start applying everywhere and see where calls you back.
