You may remain unemployed much longer than expected. The longer the period is, the harsher the financial difficulties are. You know you are jobless despite your relentless efforts to land a job. The question is how do you take care of your financial needs or handle your financial difficulties during this period?
I face that personal and i keep on looking day and night and it didn't pass2 weeks then i found job with less than half my salary and i accept , even i was walking to my job walking to save money and didn't eat as well and i alway keep on looking for other Job and search and turst My God and keep on looking till after6 months i found Job with tripple salary i was take before , Finally you MUST trust God and then yourself that one day sun will shine again.
During the period that my husband and I were working, we didn't make great expenses and every expense we did was planned and we would pick the most economic solution. So, we saved money and these funds are a great help now that I am unemployed and my husband has a part-time job. In the meanwhile, expenses in Greece are way bigger now that the government has proceed to social-benefit cuts and we have to pay everything and ofcourse pay a lot of taxes. The only expenses now is for the education of our daughter and all the other desires that a healthy grown-up has, they simply shrinked to the minimum! (like nice clothes, shoes etc.). But on the other hand, you can't live like this forever, a life isn't consisted only by the basic needs.
Yes it is a very difficult situation. It is more difficult in South Asia where the govts spend billions of dollars in defence budget but do not provide any social security benifits like some countries.
Needs are unlimited so one will have to priorities the needs according to the financial situation. Face difficulties as challenges and looking down the ladder would perhaps give some solace.
Do not give up and keep trying to overcome the testing period. Use this time to develop self and gain knowledge. Things would change as the time changes.
You can always work as a freelancer in your field until you find a good position.
Yeah I have faced that situation. I always remember those days When I was jobless, I decided to teach students (tuition).
I spend most time with them and got fee. I started with2 students but after2 month my whole class was full.
In those I tried to control on my expenses and expend salary on basic needs.
I was very confident about my future. At least I got first step towards my goal.
