Career Woes

On top of feeling that your world is crashing around you

, it seems as if people start playing the blame game. When things go wrong, everyone wants someone else or something else that they can point the finger at for why things didn't work out the way that they had hoped they would.

If you have just lost your job or even if you have recently had to take a demotion because of the recent economic woes, the last thing you should be doing is throwing yourself a pity party. Look around you and realize that there are far more people out there in the United States alone who have had to recently give up their year-to-date earnings in exchange for a job that pays them the equivalent of what their teenage children are making as first time job holders. Sure, it is a tough pill to swallow, but what else can you do during a time like this? The options are plenty. For example, you can take your new found freedom from employment and devote a good chunk of that time towards revamping your resume. Put feelers out there and see what sorts of jobs are available as well as what the qualifications are. If you have some funds available to you and you are in steady financial standings, you may want to consider going back to college temporarily so that you can earn some sort of certification or take a few classes that will give you the essential skills that you need to land the new job of your dreams.

Indulge in the things that you enjoy. If there is a yoga class that you have been dying to take or if you have been meaning to get to the gym more, now is the perfect time to do it. By doing more of the things that you love, you will be a happier person overall. Getting exercise is especially important as doing so will help to raise serotonin levels in your body, thereby enhancing that good or euphoric feeling that people often experience after they have worked out or gone for a run. Make sure that you are also getting plenty of rest so that you are able to wake up refreshed each morning, ready to take on new challenges and able to think clearly.

Never give up. Even though things may not be working out quite as you had hoped, there is still a great chance that you will be able to land another, better job in the future. In the meantime, work on things such as resume building, social networking and putting out job applications. Keep in mind that some of the best jobs aren't necessarily acquired by simply submitting a resume. Rather, many jobs are actually acquired based on who you know and who you have networked with!
