Who said this was going to be easy?

When we first enter into the land of unemployment, no matter how you get there, many thoughts cross our minds. With our knowledge, ability to use a computer and education we usually feel this should be a piece of cake. Oddly enough it can be, only if we change our minds though.
It never happens or goes the way we think it will. There is a lot of learning that will take place.

One of the best pieces of advice I would offer is you must get out of the house. Get out and see people, communicate, socialize, just get out of the house. This is where networking really comes in handy. Attend events that catch your fancy, associations you belong to, close events that don't interfere with scheduled meetings or appointments.

Remember, unemployment is not terminal. It is better to leave a people trail than a paper trail. Most of all, have fun.
