If You Found Yourself Jobless Tomorrow, What Would You Do?

HA! I'm jobless now! I was working for USPS and the idiot Post Master terminated me! It seems like if you don't (or refuse) sleep with boss or kiss their a$$, they either get rid of you or give you all kinds of grief (and that includes demotion). The best thing to do is find a job or career that suits your interest, rather than worry about the salary, when do something you like, the $$$ will always increase. When the boss gives you a hard time, document what they've said and their actions towards you, do that way when they try to fire you, you can take your grievance to someone over their head and if they're not willing to listen, either then take it to someone over their head. But never give up your morals to working.

hi! I'm unemployed right now. I just resigned on my jod as a customer service in a call center last year. Though that happened, I believed that someday I'll get much better and highly compensated job that is related to my profession, I'm a nurse by the way. Today I'm just doing online job and do some small business. You can still earn money though your not employed.

i'm agree with you.if you work in the industry for some time,you know a lot of things of it and excellent,you like the job and you are not tired of it .you should n't change industry.

hello rberon,

I don't know, am actually almost been out of that industry nearing two years now. i know it's still recession, there's still so many jobless out there most specially after this typhoon and another one coming. my thoughts? i really don't know. you kept asking when am i going to apply again, i have no idea, i think about starting to go with other profession. although, if it's so strict then il try to get back that industry. you're blessed with that job, make sure you keep it for a long time.

Well, first of all we are in the same country and I totally know where you are coming from. Most of these industries really lowered their number of employees, but now where I used to work. Call center industries are still looking and even hiring for employees..

That would be a good way to start. Although some of these call center industries does not offer that much salary, it is better than none.

You may find me a little bit weird but I got tired from doing the same thing over and over again, so even with the fact that it is hard to find another job, I resigned, decided that it would be better if I work at home. Thanks to the internet, I have been earning more than what I have earned at the call center industry.

I have made my way through freelance writing and with some of my basic html skills..:)

Yes, with the downturn of economics, we are no longer sure of the stability of the company that we are working at. Although it is stable at this time, it may face a smashup later.

If I meet such a situation tomorrow, my best choice may be focus on online businesses. Yes, it seems so difficult for me to look for a new job nowadays, so I may pay much attention to make money online for I am familiar with it. Of course, if the economics are in a upturn later, I will try to find a new job.

Happy myLotting!

well .. till date i am having vary busy time every day, by profession i am a freelance software developer and software trainer (taking lectures of languages in college) my day begins at 5:30 am from that i have continuous work till 8:00 pm,
so if i am jobless (all though i am self employed so here meaning for jobless is having no work and no customer) then i will first of all go for 5 days holidays (doesn't mean i will travel, i will be in my home only, but i will not focus on the tension of having no work)

and mean while i will concentrate on other better options that i can do,(at least good) i believe that god has given me two working hands, good brain, and programming skills(every one has some thing which is unique, and that makes the difference, one has to find what he can do, in which field he/she is comfortable, and loves doing that work ), so the phase will be changed for sure, so i think i will enjoy this joblessness for few days....

Hi rberon,
Ya it will be bad if there is no job.From your point i will take your first and third point.Being look for work in your industry is better than second point.

If i find myself jobless, then i would start scamming! I have found that as the only solution for unemployment these days. And that's the field of work most of the jobless people are working at. I'd better call myself a loser by then as everyone i the field are. Though I'm joking now, I'm sure this is true. All dumbos are doing this.

I think this post is the best topic ive ever seen today. yes you are right, although it is a big company it doesnt mean that it will not be affected by the recession. I am working with the one of the most outstanding company also but unfortunately they didnt regularize me and my contract will end this October end of the month. There reason is because they will liquidate the division that I assigned with. We are just 4 employees there and the rest are terminated. i really felt sick when i realized that at the end of the month I dont not have a work already. My plan is, i will concentrate in online bussiness.
