          Attending a session on finances while you are unemployed certainly doesn’t sound appealing.  Arming yourself with knowledge on what resources can be tapped with the least penalty, simple ways to cut expenses, and of how to protect yourself during transition can alleviate some of the burden you are feeling.  Melissa is vested in helping you learn what you CAN do while in transition to improve your financial health and prioritize you financial goals and avoid scams.  As a timely bonus, Melissa will clarify what job search expanses can be deducted on your tax return.
