I got laid off back in June. On the one hand, I hated that job. On the other hand, now I have lots of free time to do fun things. As long as they don't cost to much.

Get out of debt early kids, that way if something unexpected happens financially you have more wiggle room.

I essentially pay for my apartment with a part time job, and have enough left over for gas and food. Not ideal, but not the worst it could be. Also; mooching off of parents for food and other help is fun.

Sh-it. That sucks.
I hope you find some job that you like even better fast.
Good luck in the search. Fingers crossed.

Take advice from here. By now you should already have:

A network of people to inform that you are seaching for a job.
A perfected resume that can be modified easy for every position you apply to.

*sigh*

Well, you can do one of two things;

Take a short holiday, then start looking for work or
Go right to looking for work.

Knowing what I know now, I would probably start looking for another job right away.

The longer you are out of work, the harder it is to get back into it.

Good luck with your job hunting.

This is the most depressing circlejerk I've seen.

I hope you were smart enough to make them sign your CV to later use as a reference to your past work experience.

EDIT: At least here in Latvia, job givers are obliged to do that by default.

Don't know what your qualifications for work are, but ...

When I moved down here (to Oklahoma), my wife and I figured it would take me a while to find a job. I had quit my job in Indiana the end of October so I could actually move us down here, as that took a LONG time packing everything up and simply hauling it all down here. (800 miles one way, took me five trips - twice in very large Penske rental trucks. NOT a fun mode of transport, but a lot cheaper than hiring a moving company)

I was officially moved down here by the middle of February. I updated my resume', and I was hitting all the online sites, putting in applications, and staying busy around the house. There was a job fair the week after I got moved down here, and I went (as did a few hundred other people).

Ended up with two interviews out of that job fair the next week, and a job offer (as in, go pee in the cup and if you're clean, you start Monday) by that Friday. So ... three weeks total from actually starting to seriously look for a job to until I was hired.

Was it really what I wanted to do, or thought I would end up doing? Not hardly. At the same time, by the end of the year I'll have made right at $48,000 since the middle of March, and I'll probably make between $75,000 to $100,000 next year.

Don't take time off, per se. Get out there and start looking now. The longer you are off work, the more likely you are to not ever find work. Don't be too proud to flip burgers if that's what it takes to get some income coming in. If it's at ALL possible, stay OFF of unemployment. Is it there? Yes. Does it end up sucking the soul and life from you? Oh, yes. (And yes, I've been there in the past myself.)

Oh god... The end of days... Agmen agreed with me.

I've been sacked from jobs more times than I care to remember...

But I do agency work a lot which sucks, I often walk out and tell the manager to P off.

I'd much rather be self employed doing various things, that way you don't have to rely on other people for money, don't have someone telling you what to do, and don't have to rely on one source of income if you have various different income streams (something I'm working on).

If I get sacked (again) I lose all of my income, if I have 3 income streams, and I lose one, I lose less money, and can live off the other two streams while I find something else to do with my time.
