GOING BACK TO AN OLD JOB

Have you ever been desperate enough to go back to an old job. Well, I would not recommend it, even its only for a day.

One day, my previous job calls me into the office because they are desperately short staffed.

Agreeing is perhaps the worst decision I ever made. Going back into the office that let me go is weird and unsettling. ‘Oh you are back’ says everyone who passes me by. They all look confused at my return.

I have not been gone long but to them it is a lifetime. The day couldn't end quicker and even my manager senses it is an unpleasant experience for me.

Feeling paranoid that everyone is talking about me even though they are probably not is tearing me up inside. Never again.

On reflection, my mind had already decided before I went to work, that the day was not going to be good. Trying to rewire your subconscious thoughts can be tricky.

I suffered a lot in the process but I learned a lot about myself during that time. So, from my experiences, I thought I would share some of my tips for being unemplo...

ANXIETY PROBLEMS

If you have never suffered from anxiety count yourself very lucky as it is a very common form of mental illness that causes significant stress. I never thought I would ever suffer from it but after finding myself unemployed again, my mental state was becoming very weak and I felt life was suffocating me. Here is how I got to my lowest point. Taking a desperate and wrong choice With no work in sight after my previous TV contract expired, I decide to return to journalism but this time to print journalism. With few positions around, I begin a short business course because there is jobs in business reporting. Do I like the business field? No. Do I find it boring? Yes. Why I am I doing it? I have no idea but I’ve nothing else to do. Doing something you don't want to do is a waste of time because you will never have a passion for it. Being unsure in work can make you stressed My plan works though because a sunday paper allows me to come in an...
