LIFE: UNEMPLOYMENT

Featuring: AVATARCREATOR

Recent Vid: [On My YT (YouTube) Channel]

Yesterday I showcased/talked about the things that have been on my mind, that I would like to chat about.

To let you know, I am unemployed. This is mostly, due to my health problems I do have. These are migraine and mental health, and sometimes dyslexia (I do forget this one/too much information that I don't understand honestly, I try always).

This effects the way I work, to looking for a job. For them who don't know, I love work a lot. It's something to do in my opinion. I love helping others and bringing a smile and other peoples' faces.

So, to be unemployed is a struggle for me in general, but I'm no stranger to it, and I can't help it either.
To think on the other side, I am ashamed to be it, my opinion.
But on the other hand, I feel blessed, and its not my fault. It's true that these things can't be helped.

I feel ashamed, because I thought I would be working by now, I would work up to manager status. I'm inspired mostly by people around me, and people going to work. I admire them a lot.
I've had migraines since I was a teenager, and it rapidly went down hill from there. I'll explain what my health does to me, in another post. There's two forms of migraine that is explained all over the place, if you'd like to find out the information.

For now, I try to showcase what I love, which is designing. Mostly fashion. I love it to high heaven - God blessing.

If I wasn't in this position, it would have been easier to study at uni, I would continue to contact people and just do all I can to get my work showcased.

I know I'm a real hard worker to say so, (and jack-of-all-trades, lolls).
Anyway, hopefully that's all I wanted to say, and I do hope it doesn't sound as bad, or be a little insight to my background in a way. Away from the screen I guess.

It's not all bad most days, and I still smile through my worries. It does take time, but I'll allow that time to go by without worries building up.

Some people think I have "too much time on my hands". If they were in my shoes, they'll think again. Most of it is spent nursing my health.
If I could, I would be out there, using all I can, resources, people who can help me, libraries, etc. to get back into work. This is my opinion, and actions I would personally take.

No worries.

Take care, and hope this is understandable. Thank you for reading,

Being Unemployed...

- it doesn't mean I have free time
- it doesn't mean I'm not looking for work
- for so long I tried getting a job
- it doesn't mean I didn't do well in the workplace

- it doesn't mean I have good grades
- it doesn't mean I have a lot of good grades
- it doesn't mean I feel down about it
- it doesn't mean I feel happy about it

- it doesn't mean I haven't been to college/sixth form
- it doesn't mean I have to go to college/sixth form
- it doesn't mean I want success
- it doesn't mean I had success

- it doesn't mean I never went to university
- it doesn't mean I want to go university
- it doesn't mean I have to do an apprenticeship
- it doesn't mean I haven't done an apprenticeship

- it doesn't mean you can not do the things, that other working people could be doing
- to being employed, it doesn't mean I have free time or the money to do what I want to do

I'm unemployed, I don't have to feel less proud, or feel like I have to be doing something. To please others, no!

It doesn't mean it has to be seen, as "using someone who works", as an advantage for my personal gain.

No! I'm not the one. Shame to them who do it in. And in my view, no point if it pays more, or pays less.

All I want to do is live a life worthy. Worthy in the sights of people I know, the people who are new to meet and for my own self to be proud of.

Yes! To the succeeding.
Yes! To the ones who are willing to do better.
Yes! To them who strive to make a difference.

Nice to the people who support the change, to make a change for others.

There can be many reasons for unemployment. Never, EVER see it as a bad thing. Always see it as a next step to do anything better for yourself, to later helping others.

Thank you. (This felt like a rant - non intended).

Hope this is one way to keep as an encouragement, and a change of mind.

Take care all,

Unemployment V Employment

For anyone who knows about applying for a job, it's a difficult progression onto the next "level".

You either get it or you don't.

I've had so many rejections. However all have been good to say 'sorry' and 'good luck'.
Not all reply back.

The first one I got was from McDonalds. They sent a rejection letter. But, it was the nicest I've ever heard. I applied, because I saw the vacancy. Knew full well I couldn't work there (illness and heat, equals bad). I applied anyway. End of story.

Nowadays, I don't feel bad getting a rejection letter, plus no hear back from dropping off CVs. It's a process all companies face. So many applications, only so many can get employed.

My overview would be to look out for how many times the same application comes up, while you're searching for a job. It's maybe due to the company, or the performance of the person.

It is always hard to get into work if you've not done it before, or haven't for a long time. It can be difficult to not do nothing from being unemployed. I know.

Although, it can be different when someone has worked all their life. I see them as do good and as an inspiration.

My idea of work:

1. Yes it pays the bills, but do you enjoy doing it...? It's great to know that people enjoy their job, it's part of their life.

2. If I get back into employment (I'm category unemployed now), it would be customer led or the most want, a freelance designer job.

3. Willing to work to help others. I've seen volunteering jobs, but haven't been successful to get any. Otherwise, it shows me that most people will do the sane things as you for a good cause. I love that.

4. Overshadowed work. This is a metaphor. It means, you could be earning, but what from and what for? When you lose site of the job description you're doing and focus more on money. It covers what you should be thinking, then what you are given. You're a help to the company, who started the business.

5. Worried of unemployment. It can happen until another contract or internal application gets approved. It's a tough one, but I would say always have a back up plan. And here I am telling you this.

Unemployment doesn't have to seem bad, it's only what the word says. I found unemployment overwhelming and at a bad time, I got depressed due that and things in life. There are chances to do and be better for yourself, and even around others. There's always ways to make a difference.

This does not stop your job searches, but I read never to do to much or it'll feel like a job. No matter how much you want a job, others will want that same job with you. Never feel discouraged, and take time to search.

Plus, if you get access to any uses for updates, there are job websites and company websites to help you. I've seen some under 'careers' heading, job search, jobs, job application, etc.

Keep an eye out for applications where ever you may be, and feel good if or if not you get a job.

It's a process we may all face,
Take care.
