Recovering from Being an Unemployed Loser
Unemployment is not a piece of cake. You may be happy to no longer have your previous position but on the other hand, you may feel like an unemployed loser with no friends because you have no one to talk to during the afternoon hours. There are always stresses when working to find a new
position, whether it's paying the bills, the need for health insurance or the actual job hunting. If you are single and living on your own, the being alone can just get to you.
The best thing that may come out of all this is that you learn from previous mistakes at previous positions and you work to focus your job hunt towards the things necessary at the company you work for, to work better for you. Contacting Executive Recruiters and other placement agencies can also help during this process to give you more opportunities. Of all things, patience is most necessary if you are going to find the position and company right for you.
Make sure while you are job hunting to get out and make some trips whether it's through town or for a walk if you are likely to lock yourself up in your home job hunting. Despite the fact that you have to focus on finding a position, all your waking hours can't be spent doing this. Maybe you've been meaning to start that exercise routine or haven't been able to catch up in the garden. This is the time to start. Create a schedule for yourself while looking for that position.
If you need health insurance and can't afford Cobra, apply for SAGA to see if you meet the qualifications. Of course, don't forget to contact the Department of Labor. The hardest thing is to be left with no health insurance and have health problems. You may also call up your local social services to see if you might qualify for any assistance.
In this age of the internet, it may be possible to do some freelancing in your field of work to make some extra money and gain some experience, or perhaps one of your hobbies is a money maker.
If you decide to get a part time job remember that you will lose approximately two-thirds of the check you receive from the Department of Labor. So choose your position wisely.
