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.

UNEMPLOYED, BORED AND FEELING DEPRESSED

A couple of months ago, I googled ‘unemployed and bored’ because my head was about to melt off from doing absolutely nothing at home.

I was so depressed about being unemployed and was ashamed of my circumstances even though I knew it was not my fault. Being out of work is something that everyone will have to face at some point during their life and there are ways to get through it. Believe me I have been there. After graduating, about a third of my class emigrated overseas to look for work. This was not for me so I went back to college to study for a Masters.

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...

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO

The news and the media can scare people. If it is negative which it almost always is, then it can trigger a negative domino effect on peoples behavior and thoughts. This is made worse during a recession or when stress levels are high. When you don't know what to do in life, it is more than likely because you are stressed and are unable to think clearly. The best thing to do is to come up with some long and short term goals. Then, it would be a good idea to talk to a life coach, career coach, therapist or councilor. Try research the best one in your area to suit your needs. It's better to use a professional rather than a friend because you don't need friendly comfort but clear thought guidance. When I was not sure what to do, I went to a career coach because I realised my problem was to do with my job. Then, my coach and I came up with a strategy of how to get me from A to B. It was a weight of my shoulders and enabled me to t...
