I am now moving into unemployment-month six...but fear not! I am still on track. My target date is September 1.
I remind myself daily that this is the time to also take advantage of my free time and go back to school, update my skill set, do something weekly outside of my comfort level, perfect my French, learn to make pasta from scratch, and.....breathe.
The WSJ last week had a good article 5/28 in the "Personal Journal" about 'ditching the job fairs' and attending networking clubs for 'the unemployed'! I like that idea. Because different from attending other types of networking events with the employed, at least attending something like the Laid off Camp, or The 405 Club, or Layoff Moveon, there is a common ground to share stories, websites, books, and just plain ole' talk.
