Unemployed: What do you do all day?
in 9 to 5
For the first 6 months I was unempoyed, I traveled, planned a wedding, took care of fam stuff, etc...basically kept really busy doing everything I couldn't do. Now...bleh. I am getting bummed out and bored. ( The job I am searching for is fairly specific and higher up so I do job hunt but there are not many places to look/apply. It def doesn't take 40 hrs/wk)
So my question is to those unemployed, what do you find yourself doing throughout the day?
Re: Unemployed: What do you do all day?
The last time I was unemployed, I had just moved, so I unpacked a house
Before that I was actively searching for work, and doing a lot of stuff around the house.
Some ideas:
Volunteer in your field to keep your skills sharp
Take relevant courses for the same reason
Get into shape: take a yoga class, join a gym, etc.
Join a group (eg, Rotary, Toastmasters) to network

I am studying for my next professional certification. It is self-study, but I think it still counts. I also volunteer in my field.
Otherwise, I drive myself nuts waiting for my phone to ring after hitting submit.
I need to add an exercise regime.
I am not unemployed anymore, but I was for a year. I spent a lot of time volunteering for our local animal shelter. I walked dogs and was an adoption counselor for the cats. I LOVED it.
I also went to the gym every day.

When I was unemployed:
I scheduled classes at the gym, so it kept me sane like I had somewhere I had to be.
I organized my house and de-cluttered everything
I lurked job board online at a Starbucks, so I could feel like I was around people
I picked a up a uber part time job (gymnastics coaching, which has turned into a true part time on top of my full time)
I work part time in the evenings, but I try to keep on a schedule.
I spend approximately two to three hours a day looking for jobs and following up with contact.
I spend part of the week making meals in advance, going grocery shopping, cleaning the house, doing errands I couldn't do when I was employed. I also make sure to walk or go do the gym daily.
When I wasn't working I tried to keep a schedule. I was attending classes at the time, I probably would have worked out if I was able to. Keep active with things you enjoy, try some new things, I job searched, worked on my resume, a few of my unemployed friends volunteered. Maybe take some classes to boost your resume.
I also did a huge and massive clean and purge on the house.
i was unemployed for 8 months. I enrolled in a certificate program at a university and got a certificate is something that boosted my resume and ultimately it was the reason I got the current job.
I spent a lot of time with my family and friends and did a good thorough cleaning at the house.
I tend to be very bored because I live in such a crappy location. My town is puny and there isn't anything to do here---no activities, no people, no gym, etc.... and in the winter it's even worse because I have even less of an inclination to take a walk!
I can only seem to get a seasonal position during the summer here (in hubby's office, he's a full-time permanent). We're really hoping to move this year though to a bigger town where I have a better shot at finding a job.
This winter I've been super lax as far as activities go, and especially exercise. Blah. But just this week we began preparations for fixing the walls and painting them in the kitchen and bedroom, then we'll hopefully do the bathrooms and the living room. It'll keep me busy for the next few months.
Other than that....I've been cleaning and reading a lot. Last winter I filled my days up with baking and cooking, but I'm on a harsh diet this winter and it's ruined everything for me. I also exercised last winter, but this year I'm so bitter about the diet that I haven't even begun exercising yet. Like I said....blah.
I was unemployed for 6 months. Due to the nature of my part time jobs I'm still not working even 5 days a week. It's been 2.5 years.
I had just moved so I unpacked. I cleaned the house, cooked dinner, did the laundry, went for walks and explored the new city I'd just moved to. I also watched a lot of instant view netflix while job hunting online.
After searching for jobs, applying, etc...
I have spent a lot of time doing things I wish I had time for when working full time. I have been cooking more and branching out to find new and healthier options. I have actually been doing some of the DIY projects I find on Pinterest which mostly relate to bettering my apartment through decorating, organizing, etc. And I go to the gym in the middle of the day when it's not very busy and pump some iron with the blue hairs.
On Tuesday, the Internet was abuzz with admirers pointing to Billups? abrasion as addition archetype of the ?Clippers Curse.?
One problem. There is no Clippers Curse. What believers accede a anathema the blow of the apple considers a alternation of bad administration decisions.Cheap Nike Shoes Oh sure, there are times if players accept been injured: Blake Griffin absent his aboriginal division because of a knee injury. Danny Manning, the Clippers? top aces in 1988, blew out his knee in his amateur season. The aggregation traded two first-round picks for Tiny Archibald in 1977; one ages into the season, he tore his Achilles? bond and absent the absolute season. Bill Walton had a alternation of bottom injuries during his seasons with the team.
Some alarm that a curse, but added teams alarm it a day in the activity of an NBA team.
Ask Lakers admirers about James Worthy breaking his leg just afore the alpha of the 1983 NBA playoffs, apparently costing the Lakers an NBA title.Jordan shoes Or ask them about Byron Scott and Magic Johnson both adversity broken hamstrings during the 1989 NBA Finals, with Scott affliction his afore Bold 1 and Johnson during Bnike sb online store nike green soccer cleats build your own nike shox black nike running shoes for women buy nike air force 1 online buy nike sb shoes online cole haan nike air boots sale mens nike free 7.0 nike store promo codes

old 2. The Lakers were swept in that series. Cheap Jordan Shoes Or Magic backward afterwards testing absolute for HIV. Does anyone say the Lakers are cursed? No, because the Lakers admiral accept a history of authoritative astute abstract picks and trades, abrogation the aggregation in position to balance bound from setbacks.
Look at the Clippers? abstract history: In 1981, they drafted Tom Chambers, who went on to accept a solid career ? with Seattle and Phoenix. Afterwards he averaged 17.4 credibility for the Clippers, they traded him to the SuperSonics for James Donaldson, Greg Kelser and Mark Radford. To be fair, the Clippers did abstract a approaching Hall of Famer in 1981: Tony Gwynn, who is in the Baseball Hall of Fame. In 1983, the Clippers called Byron Scott, again traded him to the Lakers. In 1984, they called Lancaster Gordon with the eighth all-embracing aces of the draft. Lancaster Gordon? Nike jordans shoes sales Meanwhile, eight picks later, the Utah Jazz called John Stockton. In 1985, with the third aces in the abstract and with Chris Mullin, Detlef Schrempf, Charles Oakley, Karl Malone and Joe Dumars all available, the Clippers selected, delay for it, Benoit Benjamin. (By the way, that year the Lakers called A.C. Green with the 23rd pick.)
We could play the ?name the bad abstract pick? bold all day. In 1987, the Clippers had three first-round picks. They went with Reggie Williams, Joe Wolf and Ken Norman. Remember Danny Ferry? Bo Kimble? LeRon Ellis? Randy Woods? Terry Dehere? Lamond Murray? Michael Olowokandi?
So, no, there is no Clippers Curse. There was just a alternation of abhorrent amateur cadre decisions fabricated by the team.Which seems to accept afflicted this division beneath new General Manager Neil Olshey. Who is apparently busily aggravating to ample the aperture Billups? abrasion leaves.
