What have you been doing since you lost your job?

Have you been sitting home all day pitying yourself or have you taken the initiative of looking elsewhere? It is advisable that you take some time off first before making any

drastic decisions but don’t get too comfortable.

Job hunting is a very frustrating process, especially if you have not had

any positive response from the companies you’ve been sending your

applications to. Many folks get too desperate for a job that they will take any chance that lands in their hands.

Different Kinds of PeopleIn this world, there are two types of people, go-getters and those who easily lose hope with the

slightest challenge. Where do you fall? Go-getters will stop at nothing until they achieve their desired goalThose with fragile hearts, on the other hand, are mostly impatient and are always locked inside

their cocoons. They are afraid to try new things and aren’t strong enough to withstand storms.

LinkedIn is a great place to showcase your skills and increase your chances of getting hired as soon as possible. As you do this, keep in mind

that there are thousands more in your position so you’ll need to be as creative as you can to make your profile stand out. It does not end there; you need to log in constantly into your

account to check any job offers and apply.

An Alternative Solution

The other career advice you can take is to volunteer your skills in organizations looking for interns. This especially provides a good opportunity to sharpen your skills. If I were you, I would grab this chance

with both hands and give it my all. You never know, you might just land yourself a good position in the

company if they notice how passionate you are about your job.

Losing a job is not the end of the world and a lot of people do not realize the golden opportunity that is presented before them. Again, if I were

you, I’d take this chance to do all the stuff I always wanted before I get busy again. You

could take this chance to go in a far away land. Conduct prior research about the place and see

if you can find affordable places to visit.

Consider it an OpportunityOther stuff you can do is learn more about yourself.

Some people are just so into their jobs that they forget about themselves. Everything around them

revolves around their job that they barely get some me time. Taking this chance to learn about your

strengths, weaknesses, passion, likes, and dislikes is a good step towards discovering even more hidden potentials you never knew you had in you. Pamper

yourself like you never did before.

So if you are jobless, don’t let that put you down. Instead, roll up your sleeves and embrace this new and rare opportunity

presented before you. Do everything you have ever wanted and just let go of every

stress. If you have ever wanted to do a degree, masters or whatever level of

education, this is your chance.

Take it and run with it. Sometimes blessings can come disguised as a curse

and only by doing the above will you be able to discover what’s wrapped

inside. Last career advice; update your resume.
