I had many different emotions being without work for 1 1/2 years after graduating from college.
The initial emotion was freedom; I was finished with college! It felt great! The next emotion was loss; loss of income & activity. I dealt with this emotion the hardest; I ate too much, didn't get enough exercise, sat in front of the computer searching the Internet for jobs, & waiting for the phone to ring.
I put the various emotions & experiences in perspective & learned a great deal...
- Go to a company & ask for openings;
- Call the HR department of the companies you applied to;
- After an interview, ALWAYS send a thank you letter;
- Search the Internet for jobs;
- Network with everyone you know;
- Be active; get moving;
- Pray, it really does work;
It is very hard when you’re unemployed. I hope these tips help you in your quest.
You WILL find a job!
