Being Jobless is no fun

Tell me about it. I have been jobless two times (hopefully the last one) in the last two years is no fun. There are no jobs out there in my field (like I very much wanted to be in it) and trying to crash (or enter whatever you want to call it) is the same as crashing a party without getting invited, you are not even considered or ignored (same as not been considered) even if you have a Masters degree in Business with distinction (which I have). It really sucks. Sending your resume each day, waiting for the calls from the recruiters and then hearing that they will let you know if you are the chosen one to be called for an interview is a constant agony.

Apart from waiting and waiting, you kind of feel unwanted and wasted, and you feel that you are not doing enough to find a job (from the spouse standpoint). Then understandably you get nagged (or harassed) by your family that you are just sitting on your bottom doing nothing. In this economy even the most shunned jobs (like the minimum wages) are hard to come by. You call your friends, acquaintances, people you barely know, anybody who has a job to give you leads for your own job and at the same time applying for the unemployment insurance (although humiliating but once you get past it after seeing that it is your money you are getting back in hard times)
