3 Things That Will Help You Survive Unemployment
I finished college without a job or any idea of what to do next.
When you graduate with a Bachelor's Degree in Arts, it’s not easy to find a job in that area. Yes, it’s a very versatile degree where you learn multiple skills that are valued in a lot of jobs. However, all the “cool” jobs that are related to your degree, a simple diploma is not enough to get them.
After months of research and multiple breakdowns, feeling lost and useless, not seeing my life moving forward any time soon, I finally got a job. All I can say now is that even though I’m stressing out a bit (because I always find something to stress about), I feel relieved. It’s a temporary job, but after I’m done with it, I will have a lot more experience than I had before, and that will help me get a full-time job.
I am truly excited about this new chapter in my life.
Now, during all this process of looking for a job, I learned a couple of things that I think are important for you to know if you are going through this phase.
The biggest thing I learned during this phase was that you need to do more than just look for jobs or sending out your CV.
