I have recently lost my job and I have a family of 4 to feed. What is the best way I can remedy this situation?

I have been retrenched recently due to COVID-19 and it is really hard to find a job in this period. Many companies have reduced hiring and interview processes are more stringent. I am the sole breadwinner in my family too. What can I do?

Firstly, apply for all the given grants. It will help you to tide thru basic needs (3 meals a day).

Secondly, take a look into yesterday's fortitude budget. They are creating more jobs opening.

Although the job may not be 'suitable' for you in the long run, my advise is to take them up first to tide through this period. Trade your time for money first since you are the sole breadwinner.

Maybe after 1 year after the economy stabilized, then go and find jobs that are suitable for you.
