OK. So you are out of work either by your choice or
not. You're scared. Most people do not have adequate
savings to allow for a long period between jobs. Not
having savings or a spouse/partner to support you financially
through this period adds tremendous stress to your
already stressful position.
What if, instead of being fearful, you decided to
enjoy yourself? There is nothing worse than finding
a new job, getting back into the day-to-day grind and
then wishing you had done more fun things while you
had the time. The time is now! You can either worry
and be scared and talk about how scared you are …
Or you can trust in your abilities and trust in yourself
to find another job shortly, and you can have some
fun while looking for the job you want.
What if you decided to use this time between jobs
as an opportunity for self-exploration?
Without your current job distracting you, you can see
yourself more clearly and ask the questions that require
your attention. What are your skills
that you love using? What are your values,
those things that you find most important in life?
Choosing a job that allows you to live your values
will make you much happier than working at a job where
the values are different than yours. What would be
your ideal job? If you could do anything at all, what
would you do and where would you do it?
What if you chose to approach job hunting as an adventure,
an opportunity to meet new people and expand your network
of professional connections? Networking
is a lot of fun and should be part of career regardless
of whether you are working or not. A strong network
of peers and colleagues can assist you tremendously
in finding new employment. Seventy-five percent of
all jobs are filled through networking – without
ever being advertised.
Everyone finds him or herself between jobs at some
point in life. By challenging your thinking about how
the experience will be for you, by learning to keep
others' negativity and fears at bay, by exploring yourself
and your
dreams for your life and your work, you empower
yourself to live your life your way and to enjoy your
journey.
