<prompt> Human: Hi. So Im experiencing a lot of anxiety today as finally reality has sunk in. My company can no longer afford to pay me for the next two months minimum. This will absolutely destroy me financially unless I change something.. fast.Im looking for advice on what to do. Perhaps theres a job type that I overlooked? Im not sure tbh. Im looking to somehow stay afloat. Im not a complete idiot I think? Ive seen the writing on the wall for a while now, as many of our companys government contracts got stalled this year. So Ive been applying to any and all jobs I could think of that Im qualified for. Which seems to be almost nothing.My job right now is as a COO. I run a lot of administrative tasks at a small tech manufacturer. I do sales, managing, and other stuff too. Im self-trained. My degree was unrelated. Unfortunately Ive received mostly automated no responses and responses along the lines of overqualified or underqualified. Ive applied for any and all administration type jobs I could think of and a few extra stuff that could take advantage of my more sales oriented skills. Still nothing. Perhaps its my education: I have an obsolete integrated studies degree that most people gloss over. Perhaps its my age: Im 27 and an executive. Perhaps its my experience: Ive worked my way up the same company for 5 years but no other real job experience outside that besides small beans stuff. I honestly have no clue anymore. Yes this post is definitely a cry for help: my 1746 worth of expenses due in the first few days of July are looming over me and I have 244 in my bank account and a credit card with 1300 available, but I cant use any of it to pay other credit cards or rent. My family lives paycheck to paycheck and cant help much either. All of credit cards are going to lapse at the same time. Including my car payment, rent, and student loans. Im applying for Lyft and Im setting that up soon I hope. But I fear that wont do enough I dont live in a big city where I can do it all night CA if it matters. Ive applied for a personal loan that lets you write an essay about what I would do with the money... but honestly Im not hopeful about those options. The worst part about this is that I feel like Im going to be missing out on a huge opportunity for my company. Weve made headway to making a huge deal with a major tech partner and I could really benefit from this, but it still needs a lot of groundwork and they cant afford to keep me on this project. So frustrating. Okay rant over. Thanks for reading.Tl;dr:Broke 27yo cant get job because degree is bunk, experience is only being an executive or executive assistant, and he really should stay at his job to pursue a big opportunity but hes stuck in poverty and probably will be forever... yay. Assistant: Hmm... how small is this company? Are you COO in title only? Im guessing they arent compensating you like a typical COO, if youre finding yourself this strapped for cash. It may be wise to update your resume with a title more reflective of your role, to avoid the overqualified responses. Human: Its like 12 people. I suppose Im COO in title only but I basically manage all of the operations so Im not sure what else to put. You make a good point though. Thank you for responding. Edit for clarity: We manufacture equipment, so I manage all the top level processes between finances customers production line qc etc. Assistant: If I changed your resume, Id probably modify it to something like Operations Manager. That is certainly a respectable position, and it may help open some doors. I think people read COO and automatically assume youre a high dollar employee that just reviews high level documents in their cushy office. It sounds like youre very hands on with the business and understand how manufacturing processes work. Make sure to emphasize these skills and refocus your job search. You arent an admin. You could easily help run another manufacturing facility. Do you happen to have any Six Sigma training?Human: Thank you for the response. That really helps. Ill try that out. I dont have six sigma training.  <response>: rresumes may be able to help as well
