Things to do when u r jobless

Quite frankly, when the companies around you are downsizing due to recession in economy and when you are fretting how to pay bills and support families… I seriously doubt most people’s first thought would be to follow whatever im going to advice…

But when someone is jobless like me, and needs something to do with the brain so it may not wander around here and there, I came up with a list of interesting ways for myself and others in similar situations to keep themselves busy. Being jobless is devastating. Infact it’s the biggest loss anyone can suffer. Not only you are increasing the unemployement ratio, you are also loosing your routine, money, pride and most importantly a sense of purpose.

1# Finish Pending Work: The foremost thing you can do with your time is to finish your pended works. This can be the documentation of your final project or clean your wardrobe.

2# Watch movies, Socialize and party:
Find your old lost friends and hang out, have fun.. this time wont come again in your life ( or atleast we pray it never does :P)

3# Make most of being jobless:
There are countless things you can do to improve yourself, personally and professionally… how about finally loosing those 5 pounds which you were fretting about from the past 5 years.

4# Don’t limit yourself:
Don’t limit yourself to just one profession. There are thousand other things on which you are good at, the only thing is to find one. When you are jobless its a good time to look at what really matters to you, what you love to do or what you've always wanted to try."

5# Start a course/class:
Always wanted to join cooking class?? Isn’t it just the right time to give your hobby an uninterrupted time? You can join some constructive class also. For example , start learning adobe or corel, or ACAD or why not learn French. It’s a great language to learn… Parlez-vous français ??? ;)

6# Find other ways to pocket money (fair means obviously ):P
How about tutoring, this will not only bring at least pocket money, also you will be able to keep in touch with what LCM and HCF are and how they can be calculated. (Right now I’m recalling myself how HCF is calculated :$)

Start making handmade stuff, like if you like painting or pottery making, or candle making .. silk painting… handmade journals, diaries, albums. And then start forcing your family and friends to buy them :P

7# volunteer: I read somewhere that volunteering gives people a sense of purpose which is critical to the self-esteem of job hunters who feel powerless after weeks or months of a fruitless job search. By volunteering you would get busy and wont think of the recession in the country’s economy as well as you’ll b able to keep your mind busy somewhere.
