You Should Be Happy When You're Jobless: This Is Why

You Should Be Happy When You're Jobless: This Is Why

Seatoday.com, Jakarta You are probably in between jobs right now, and you haven't had anyone contacting you after tons of application letters sent. Feeling depressed already? Get up and be a champ! Being unemployed is a actually a blessing in disguise. Try to look at it from a different perspective. Here's why.

 

You have time to know what you really want

Was your last job enjoyable? Or you were doing it just for money? Were you lazy? Whatever that was, losing your job has changed your life in one way or another.

 

Look back but never regret it. Self introspection and contemplation will give you a broader perspective on how you should've done things yesterday. So tomorrow, be better!

 

Now time to level up

Maybe you are a writer all your life. But all these job vacancies you found online require a certain level of foreign language proficiency. You know you are practically a polygot, but you don't think you have the confident or skill to write in a language. Isn't it the right time to fix it?

 

Try to get an English grammar book and polish your writing. Improve your skill by starting to write in the language. There's lots of free tutorials and resources on the internet. You might not reach the same level as writers whose native language is English in a month, but you surely will improve alot and attract more employers since you've got the high-paying skills you needed now.

 

This too shall pass

Nothing last forever, whatever you're going through. Practice makes perfect and the end of the day, people will see the potential and hire you anyway. Why shouldn't they hire a champion? (RZK)
