How Does Looking For Work Affect You?

katkim

It takes over your life, I lose all sense of perspective because I'm constantly stressed about how I'm going to live without an income and nothing else gets a look in - not my family, not my friends - and it destroys your soul.

The only thing that keeps me going is that 'yes' but with each rejection and each newspaper that reports that the economy stinks even more than you thought it sucked, sometimes it's hard to believe you're ever going to get it. Trying not to lose hope, stay in the right frame of mind and not come off as completely desperate, is difficult.

Guess all Job Centres work differently I'm passed 13 weeks by a long shot and they have never told me I can't choose what I apply for by sector etc. Not that there are that many jobs here but I still limit mine a little bit.

They keep suggesting all these schemes and stuff to me but it all sounds like a waste of time to me.
