Can job loss have a psychological effect?
And this weekend, as usual, we have writing ideas that highlight aspects of our lives that we have already experienced or may experience in the future.
In today's post I will share with you emotions, feelings, experiences that I have had in real life, yes, I had the surprise of being unemployed sometime in 2013, so how did I manage to handle this situation.
Yes, in our life having a job is essential, inevitably you don't have much choice, without a job your life on the planet can be a nightmare for you and for those around you.
In my case when I lost my job I took it as a challenge, I kept thinking, maybe my former job and employer didn't deserve me, maybe I was looking for something better for myself, looking for another job where I could advance, I never wanted to get stuck in a certain place, I always looked for the next professional level.
In all the time I was employed and had a job I managed with all the daily expenses and the rest of the unexpected expenses to put money aside (I set up a "dark days" account, as I like to say), so when I became unemployed my first action was to check the resources I had at that time.
So for a start we tried to cut back as much as we could, we gave up holidays, going out, eating out, and it was good because we managed to save money, with what we saved we managed to pay other expenses.
Here in Romania we have an online job platform, clearly I posted my CV here, maybe I'll get lucky (but even if sometimes I was desperate to find a job I wouldn't have accepted any position) and find the right job for me.
I have to admit that I had a few jobs that I aspired to, yes, I contacted the staff at those jobs to send my resumes here as well.
I forgot to tell you that during the whole period I was unemployed I filed my papers and the Romanian state gave me unemployment, a very small help if we talk about money, but even so with this unemployment I managed to pay part of my monthly expenses.
I had great confidence in myself and my abilities and I didn't have so many problems finding a job, the job market is very varied, I was sure that any opportunity I found I could adapt very easily (I don't want to brag about my studies, but I have enough, plus a lot of refresher courses).
To conclude my post today (even though I currently have a steady job) I want to share a little secret with you and that is that my goal for the future is to find a job where I don't have to be physically present and where I don't have to work eight hours like a robot, but work remotely, make my own schedule, and not have a frustrated boss.
