Hi,
I had faced that dreadful feeling of being unemployed in my life. Let me share my views on unemployment.
There are quite a few psychological effects and one should not let unemployment affect your personal attitude towards life in general.
You should also consider filing for the unemployment insurance claim as soon as you lose you job. It will at least help bridge the gap in your earnings until the time you get another job.
Thanks

Jerry has covered some very important points, just to add to it
Make sure that you cast a wide net in your job search. Don't limit your search to a local news paper. Try to visit some job fairs and talk to your friends who are in same field.

HI,
Remember, if you loose your job then it is not the end of the world. Start looking for a new job. Start contacting everyone in your network and see if they have any positions available. Also check regularly the local newspaper ads and online classified. You never know where your next opportunity is going to come. Don't sit back and wait. Take the initiative to get a job.
Thanks |

While you create a budget for unemployment, keep in mind that the average job hunt takes around 6 months. One more that you should think about is that the month you run out of the expenses, is too late for you to limit your spending power. Remember the two golden rules when you plan a budget.
- Withdrawal of cash from your 401K Plan account is more troublesome that applying for credit cards.
- One should only apply for credit cards until and unless there is financial emergency.
It's better to cut down your expenses as much as possible without losing your home. Also, do not aim for a job providing excellent income. Rather you should start applying for jobs for which you are overqualified. |
