What to Do When You're Unemployed



IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER

-
update your résumé the second you're laid off, fired, wtf. Your duties and accomplishments will be fresh in your mind.

- file for unemployment

- revamp your household budget, cut out unnecessary things (dining out, car washes, shopping for clothing)

- post your new résumé anywhere and everywhere you can think of

- take a chill pill!!! given the current state of the U.S. you're not alone, don't feel bad and realize that hundreds of people are applying for the same positions you will be

- consider yourself funemployed... get used to spending time at home, figure out what programs you like to watch on tv. start taking pleasure in the simple things in life (farmers markets, riding your bike, donation based yoga classes, reading blogs, spending time outside)
