Just need a bit of advice. A fellow I know from the gym has been down of late. although , by coinncidence , we share similar circumstances , age , duration of unemployment and lack of responses to applications, I seem to be dealing with things a bit better. I know what works for me probably isnt right , especially for others I just don't know what to say to him . I certainly dont want to repeat some of what has been said to me over the past long while , as most of the "help" was basically variations of the old " get out and get a job" Thanks
