Being unemployed


Having been unemployed for about four months now, I begin to realize a lot of things about myself: what I am worth, who I am as a person and what needs to be done; I’ve learned a lot of things these past few months. 
  1. Get unemployment insurance. Unless starving, stress, bad credit, suffocation and no money (but plenty of free time) sound good, accept help from anyone and everyone legal to help. 
  2. Keep your hopes up and dreams high J. Watch Sailor Moon Super S, about beautiful dreams and pure hearts … it makes you hopeful and happy. 
  3. If you can’t find a job through one website or agency, go to other websites and agencies. 
  4. Continue to any and every interview, practice till you get perfect. But also remember that this interview, will make or break your future, it’s on the line. 
  5. Keep your ends loose; what else do you have to offer to the world? Life might suck, but that is why you need to work hard to make it better: you can’t eat the cookie without making it. 
  6. Watch Law & Order: SVU; life may not be great, but it beats being raped and killed. Find a way to make the world better than the one portrayed on TV (which is pretty scary and dry). 
  7. GET YOUR ACT STRAIGHT!!!!  Sure, take a few months to wallow in your sorrows, beat yourself up for not getting that perfect job, and eat fast food and get fat. Then get over it! You need to get your act straight and take all that you’ve worked (college) and other experiences and make them worth it. It may be only a paper, but it’s THE paper (other than your Social Security card and passport). 
  8. If you get a call, answer it. If you miss it, listen to the voice-mail, and call them back right away; they’re not going to wait for you forever! 
  9. Don’t compare yourself with others… they have their lives, and you have yours: some people just have it, some people don’t. It’s not fair but when you get the job treasure it, you got it because you worked hard, not by luck or money or charm. 
  10. Stay positive, smile, fix your problems and train yourself. You only get better if you try to make it better.
There are more things that I want to talk about unemployment, but these are the only ones that I can think of… I’ll upload more if I think of them below:
