How long are we going to stay in this recession people?
I been looking for a summer job/internship since March and I am still unemployed. It is so depressing, because everywhere I go people tell me they do not have money for interns because the recession has forced them to cut their budget! I applied to over 60 jobs and only heard back from 15, 10 of which where unpaid! I don't want to be rude, but who wants to work for free? Everyone has bills, and financial responsibilities some type of monetary compensation is necessary.
It is so frustrating to go out looking for work and getting no for an answer, or having to stay at home due to the lack of employment. I have been trying to deal with this issue for the last three weeks to the best of my ability and it has been one of the hardest things I have done. I am convinced I have been suffering from Unemployment Depression. I have found myself really down at the fact that I cannot find a job.
So how have I dealt with this depression?
For Starters, I got a hobby! I began blogging more, I have found a lot of interesting posts which I will share with you all.
Secondly, I began an unpaid internship with Social Services of Hip Hop. Please check out the website-sshiphop.com, and follow us on twitter at twitter.com/sshiphop.
Lastly, I have been spending a lot of time at home. Mommy always said "if you do not have enough money to pay for your cab, food, drinks, and any emergency stay home" Lets just say I am staying home for a while! I am still looking for a paid position but in the mean time I am going to invest my time into being productive!
Please let me know how you are dealing with this recession and what tips do you have for those who are going through unemployment depression!
