Unemployment: Another Cog in the Machine
Today marks the end of a second week unemployed (like countless others caught in this tide of layoffs).
I don’t want to rabbit on about sentiments we’ve all heard before, so all I will say is:
“It was a position that managed to blend my values and skill sets in a way where I fully intended to retire there.”
Now I’m in the process of landing another job and it’s…going.
- 9 applications sent
- 1 phone interview
- 1 call from a recruiting branch
Do I feel I’ve done enough? No.
Am I very confident? Also no, but it’s slowly ticking up.
Compared to last time, so much has changed, yet so much hits exactly the same. To everyone searching I hope you snag that position you’re really aiming for (you know the one).
