From an existencial point of view, unemployment is a time when life takes you out of the world, to a monastery of solitude where you much find inner peace. Without inner peace you will hardly find a job. When you have inner peace, a spiritual vision of life, all the uncertanties will fade, and you will get a job.
I know you will be telling me stories of how good it goes for you very soon.

WOW deep and inspirational. Thanks! I have definitely found myself there in my nearly 2 months of unemployment. I'm definitely sensing some breakthroughs in my inner peace. But also my self esteem oddly, probably from the soul searching one has time to actually do during a time of unemployment or LOA(leave of absence). Its funny that few short weeks ago I was talking to one of my best friends about monasteries. I joked about him running away to one, knowing its not his thing. Went on to say that I think I was going to start my own woman's monastery. I could see myself living with out speech for long period of time. But in a way I did start my own(solo for me alone) and learned a few things about myself in the process. In the last 2 weeks I've had so many "ah ha" moments its not even funny.
