history: When I lost my job.  I recently lost my job_comma_ and am having trouble finding another one.  I feel your pain_comma_ that happened to me a few years ago_comma_ I ended up having to settle on a job I didn't like just to make ends meet.
current: Its a scary situation to be in but like you I almost pretty much applying to anything out there! 
next: I hope you find a job, good luck!
