Update: Jobless husband
Many of you probably remember me posting last month about DH who quit his job without anything else lined up. In case anyone was wondering I wanted to give you an update. I had gotten a few recent emails from some nesties wondering what had happened.
It's been a month and DH still doesn't have a job. In fact I think DH has only applied for 1 or maybe 2 jobs and it's only been online. I gave him time before really getting on his case about his resume. He had been with his prior position 7 years so I wanted to allow him time to "divorce" it so to speak. He is still trying to figure out exactly what he wants to do though.
He now has his resume online (a start) and finally said to me that it's time he goes back to work. He said if he doesn't have something by the end of this month he's going to pick up a couple of part time jobs to at least bring in some income.
I have noticed A COMPLETE change in him though during this past month - he's more friendly, and far less stressed. In fact he's the old DH that I remember him to be. His dad even called me the other day to say he's noticed the changes when they talk on the phone. I come home from work to find the house cleaned, and dinner ready so even though he's not working he's at least helping out in the house.
I wish it was better news considering I'm still working the 2 jobs but I really thought long and hard about my 2nd job (it's only weekends) and that is actually my stress reliever since I work hard during the week. So it's a win there.
Re: Update: Jobless husband
I'm so glad to hear about the progress!
I I can't imagine how frustrating those first few weeks were (and I'm sure there's still some stress due to his not having a job yet). But it sounds like, in the long run, this is going to be a positive thing for both him and you.
Good luck to the DH in his job search.
i'm sorry that your husband is still job hunting but i'm sure it's nice to see that he's happier again. hopefully feeling less stressed will help him when he's interviewing. he might want to consider going to a temp agency. some of them will also help you revise your resume. not sure of his field/interests but i can PM you the agencies i used when job hunting in 2010 and 2011. this job market is tough, so i feel your pain. we've been here almost two years and i am just about to go perm at my current job, before that i was only temping and it sucked. good luck to your DH!
What type of work is your DH looking for?
