Keep Working When You’re Looking
Talented people who are out of work because of corporate consolidation and financial turmoil have a real challenge: How to spend “free time” in ways that are enriching, add personal value, and further the action in selecting a new career or finding rewarding work. The obvious responses such as pursuing another degree are not necessarily the best and are certainly not the only solutions. Click an item below for more ideas. Play
It is important to keep morale up and avoid the pitfall of feeling valueless because you have free time. Smell the roses, go to the gym or take up bridge, the favorite game of Warren Buffet and Bill Gates. Go to www.LearnBridgeinOneHour.com or www.bridgedoctor.com. Talk to your local Humane Society about volunteering to walk dogs (you’ll get exercise AND a new friend!). At Meetup.com you can find a local community of people who are getting together to participate in a variety of activities – from pick-up sports to wine tastings to hiking to movie nights and tango lessons, you are guaranteed to find fun and fulfilling ways to fill your free time. |
