Usually, they will call their second choice after the first one failed.  But do it anyway.  You're broke and unemployed. All you have is your dignity, and you don't even need that.

I once interviewed at a place, and didn't get the job. A couple months later, they call me back saying a new position opened and they thought I might be a good fit. So I go back for another interview, and I didn't get the job.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

I've had that happen also. But I've also gotten a job that way as well. It can work. (unless you don't try) Fear of rejection is something you need to get over when hunting jobs or love.

I was once interviewed for a job and didn't get it. They called again a month later or so because they had two more openings and I got one of those. The job I eventually got was much better than the original job.

Don't you live close to Los Angeles? There must be some jobs there.
