Default Unemployed for the first time in 8 years

And I forgot how tedious job hunting is and I’ve not even been turned down by anywhere yet with applications or had interviews yet.

I luckily had Sky come along when I was sick of my last job. Unfortunately not had that luxury this time of being able to jump into something different bc I would have been sacked over the weekend if I hadn’t had got there first and put my notice in.

I’m sure something will crop up.

I was told years ago to keep trying .. and often you get success- sometimes very soon after you were about to quit !

…I don’t know if you want to think of temporary for the moment but t’is the season to be busy and seasonal work could be an option right now and help with that tedium…?…and you might not even have to dress as Santa or an elf…although, you’d look very fetching as either…good luck in finding that job that fits you……best babe foot forward…chin up, chest out…charge it…

What type of work are you looking for lovely? As Ammi said, lots of seasonal work around at the moment. There are jobs out there but the market is moving quickly so if you see something you like the looks, act fast and apply.

Also, maybe sign up with a couple of local agencies to widen your options

I’m mostly experienced in sales. There is a lot of temp retail stuff going atm which will probably tide me over while I think about my options.

I was thinking bold career move and applying for an apprenticeship with the BBC in journalism. I always loved writing when I was younger and the wage isn’t that bad. It wouldn’t start until September next year though so I’d definitely have to find something in the meantime.

Yeah I was signed up to an agency years back before I was taken on fully by the company I worked for before I was at Sky.

it's all part of life's rich tapestry. I've been there, i know what it's like. Think of it as an exciting new start, because believe it or not, it is and you will look back in a few years and say, that was the best thing that ever happened to me

Good luck, I hope you find something you really like. The BBC apprenticeship sounds interesting.... hope it all works out for you.

Thanks Livia! Definitely intrigued by the idea. It wouldn’t be until September so gives me options to look into in the mean time.

You know my situation where I had to give up the last 7 years of my life and start over in a completely new state. It is so overwhelming. And comments from family members/friends sometimes make it worse.

It took me two weeks to find a job here. It wasn’t the best but it led me to the place I work now (which I ****ing love) and I feel like it happened for a reason

Sometimes starting with less than what you had before is kind of like humbling??? And you end up appreciating more. That’s how I feel anyway. I took a job that doesn’t pay the best, just so I can work my way up and get a better position.

Are there any places you can see yourself working where you can like earn better opportunities?

Thimkibg ob you, friend!!

Honestly Sky gave me so many opportunities and really opened my eyes on my capabilities so I’m eager to give anything a go that I feel could benefit me and allow me to be the confident being I am.

Thanks you Rusti. I’m definitely keeping a positive mindset rather than just hit the bottle and hide away feeling sorry for myself 💙
