Hi everyone I'm Alex, the other half of halfwaythere. So while Kirsten is adjusting to her job situation (she did land a job) I'll try to post in between and keep our followers following!
So I suppose a lot of our (monthly) readers are our friends, but then there are the few out there, the far in between (.01% of our fanbase) that actually do not have jobs. You are the proud, the few (reading our blog), the unemployed. Well while I do want to express my condolences to your working life at the same time I would like to congratulate you for finding our blog!! You have sifted through the vast sands on the internet to find one piece of work worth reading! Good for you!
While you enjoy your temporary (hopefully) stay at this path in life whether your living it up or cramming your nose in a book or going insane, Your most likely trying to stay busy. The most important ideas I could suggest anyone who is currently not employed are three things:
1. Find a (legal) way to obtain money
2. Continue to search for a job while your obtaining money
3. Stay busy while your not searching for a job
Why do I say that? Well otherwise you'll go nuts! I personally feel if you don't stay busy you'll get depressed and lose hope. If you occupy yourself with silly (and not so silly) tasks and chores you'll pass the time between not having a job and eventually land a job. My luck has always been one month. You will apply for 80+ jobs and borderline giving up and then BAM 3 interviews in a week! So while it is important to stay searching this post is more about what you can do while you search for your "dream job":
Stay in Shape
Read a book
Reevaluate your budget
Reevaluate your savings
Do household repairs
Consider a career change
Find a new hobby
Go back to college
Learn a skill or trade
Search for cheaper insurance, phone service, etc...
Stay current with news
Meditate
Blog!
sell useless possessions
Go outside
Go on a vacation
Meet some new friends (Or reconnect with old ones)
Get involved with your local government
Ask yourself what you really want for life
Cut out coupons
