Downsized & Can't Find Work - Earn Money While Looking for Your Next Job
Have you recently been downsized?
Since you've been downsized, have you found that it is very difficult to find a new job to take the place of your previous job?
Current Situation
If so, you're in good company. December 2007 marks the official beginning of this recession, and since then, more than 5.7 million jobs have been eliminated. According to the Associated Press (AP), after the May 8th release of the April, 2009 unemployment numbers:
- 13.7 million people were unemployed in April, 2009, and that was the largest number since 1948
- 539,000 jobs were lost in April alone
- 8.9% unemployment, but if workers who've been laid off and just given up or taken part-time work, are included, that number jumps to 15.8% - the highest since 1994
If you've been unemployed for more than a month, you may be feeling frustrated, angry, depressed, or maybe even a little panicky as you watch the pages of the calendar turn, with still no job on the horizon.I'm betting that you're also worried about some long term issues (e.g., college education, retirement) as well as this immediate crisis.
There are basically three options in this situation:
- Panic
- Keep doing what you've been doing (the same things that haven't yet found you a new job), or
- Try something different
Option 1: Panic
The first option, panic, is entirely counter-productive, and should be avoided at all costs.A little fear is a good thing, in fact, it can even be a life saver during dangerous situations by activating the flight or fight response.Panic overloads our nervous system, reduces our creativity, and generally degrades our ability to respond to life's challenges.
Option 2: Continue Doing What You've Been Doing
If doing what you have been doing had been successful for you, you wouldn't be reading this article right now.Unless you're willing to change, and try something new, you're only going to end up with more of what you already have.
Although there seems to be a little bit of a light at the end of this recessionary tunnel, good people I know have still been unemployed for six months or more.After jumping through all the required hoops (e.g., answering help wanted ads, sending out tons of resumes), what results have they achieved?Nothing. nada.
Not very many people are getting hired in this economy; many are not even getting callbacks from their resumes.
Option 3: Try Something Different
The third option - do something different - seems to be the only plausible solution. Where should you begin looking when you have so many possibilities?
Try something new: start a home business .
- Never worry about being downsized again.
- Let this be the last time that you exchange quality family time for long evenings or weekends at the office.
