Downsized? Earn Cash While You Look For Your Next Job

Have you recently been “right-sized”?

Have you found that the recession has really hurt your ability to find a new job to replace your old one?

Present Conditions

If so, you’re in good company.  December 2007 marks the official beginning of this recession, and since then, more than 5.7 million jobs evaporated during the current recession.  According to the Associated Press (AP), after the May 8th release of the April, 2009 unemployment numbers:

• 13.7 million people were out of work in April, 2009, and that was the largest number since 1948
• 539,000 jobs were lost in the month of April alone
• 8.9% unemployment (the highest since September, 1983), but if people who’ve been laid off and given up or taken part-time work, are included, that number jumps to 15.9% unemployment – the highest since 1994

If you’ve been unemployed for over a month, you may be feeling angry, or maybe even a little panicky as you observe the pages of the calendar turn, with still no job on the horizon.  I’m betting that you’re also worried about some long term issues (e.g., college education, retirement) as well as this immediate crisis.

There are essentially three choices in this situation:

1. Panic
2. Continue doing what you’ve been doing (the same things that haven’t yet found you a new job), or
3. Try something different

Option 1:  Panic

The first option, panic, is entirely counter-productive, and should be avoided at all costs.  A little fear is a good thing – it can help us focus and energize us for fight or flight. Panic, however, overloads our system, resulting in fuzzy thinking, confusion, fatigue, and gets us nowhere.

Option 2:  Keep Doing What You’ve Been Doing

If doing what you have always been doing had been successful for you, you wouldn’t be reading this article right now.  If you keep doing the same-old, same-old, you’re going to end up in the same place that you already are.

I don’t know about you and your industry, but people in my industry – good people – have been unemployed for more than six months, unable to find a comparable job to the one they left; or even, any job at all.  Despite doing all the “right things” (e.g, answering help wanted ads and sending out resumes), what have they got to show for all that effort?  Zilch, nothing.

My friends are not even getting preliminary callbacks – and that’s even when they can find jobs to apply for in the first place.

Option 3:  Try Something New

The third option – do something different – seems to be the only plausible solution.  But this leaves you with many, many options – so where should you begin?

What if you start a home business .

• Don’t worry about being downsized again.
• Don’t let your job keep you from spending quality time with your family and friends.
