I’m unemployed... - Starting over!
Thread Content
Last May, we said goodbye to a graduate student from Northwest University. In July, we bid farewell to an engineer with many years of work experience. In November, we lost an engineer who had made outstanding contributions to the company’s development. In October, there was a good opportunity for a job transfer; all the details were settled, but I didn’t take it. Because of the economic crisis, don’t change jobs. In February 2009, I said goodbye to a colleague who worked in foreign trade. At the end of February, it was raining as I left this factory. Is it liberation, or confusion? Spring has arrived, and I have embarked on the long journey of looking for a job. I hope it won’t be too long, too long... Guangdong in February is already a bit sweltering, with the atmosphere of early summer. When I call home, people there still need to wear winter clothes – cold rain, dry leaves, bare trees… everything remains as if it’s still winter. So, where has spring gone, between the end of winter and the beginning of summer? Traveling by car through cities, along unfamiliar routes, to unknown stops ； Strange faces, strange companies ； One phone call, traveling hundreds of miles. Then several people compete for one position; one by one, they enter the small dark room, just like going to see a doctor! This feeling is a bit unfamiliar. Night fell. I returned to a city that was both strange and familiar. Standing at an intersection, I gazed into the distance, where the entire city was illuminated by lights. . . . . . Perhaps all roads lead to Rome; perhaps spring is in our hearts. Thank you to my fellow travelers for their encouragement; I have found a new job. When one is at a low point, certain words can be truly moving. Thank you all. This post was last edited by cdcheng on 2009-2-26 10:13]
Wish the original poster good luck! Hold on tight and persevere; success is guaranteed if you believe!
Thank you for your encouragement, sister. I believe I can definitely handle the work. I’m just disheartened now and don’t want to work for others.
When facing an economic downturn, don’t be passively pessimistic; be brave enough to take risks, take a short break, and then move forward.
Once you jump out, there’s no thought of turning back; one must adapt to survive.
I firmly believe the future is bright; good luck!
One should carefully consider one’s future plans. If you do it by yourself, you’ll have to put in more effort (or face failure)!
Do it yourself; anything will do
No matter how difficult it is, we must keep beautiful beliefs in our hearts
Don’t be discouraged; the old must go before the new can come!
Working on one’s own is also a good option; it just involves more stress. I work while running my business, which keeps me quite busy
Is it liberation, or confusion? Whether it was good or bad in the past, let it remain in the past; start a new life and begin everything from scratch. Wish you all the best on your journey, so you can create your own world.
Dangers and opportunities coexist in a crisis! Wishing the original poster good luck!:handshake
One should carefully consider one’s future plans
Considering an individual’s abilities and personality, if they have the capacity to work independently, are extroverted, and good at networking, they should start their own business； If one does not have the ability to work alone, is extroverted, and good at networking, then they should start a business in partnership with others ； If you don’t have the ability to work independently, are introverted, and not good at socializing, it’s better to consider working for someone else! Determining the general direction first before taking action makes it more targeted!
The experience of being unemployed is really unique. Take me for example: aside from not having any money, I still led a rather fulfilling life
Brother upstairs, it’s fine for a day or two, but once it gets longer, one starts to feel anxious. After all, we’re men – we can’t just stay sitting around doing nothing!
The original poster isn’t thinking of starting a business now, right? The overall environment isn’t very favorable; it’s better to wait until things improve before pursuing big ambitions.
