1. 'Why haven't you got a job yet?'- The dreaded question...well, jobs don't grow on trees, nor are they going to come looking for you. More often than not, it can take weeks sometimes even months to find a new job. As long as you are actively looking then you are heading in the right direction. So for now, here is the response you can give to anyone asking why you don't have a job...
2. Getting rejected - We get it, you spend hours applying for hundreds of jobs only to be turned away and rejected. It's heart breaking. So, we recommend you go home, relax and bury your feelings in a nice greasy pizza. Then, tomorrow you can start the process all over again.
3. The Job Centre - Shuddering at the thought of having to wait in the long, sweaty queues at the Job Centre? Yes, us too.
4. Those 'pre-interview nerves' - You've not had an interview for the last five years and now all of a sudden, you have to start having them again. Its normal to be nervous, we'd start to question whether or not you where human if you weren't nervous. However, we don't recommend downing a bottle of Vodka beforehand.
5. Spending more time on your sofa than you'd like to admit... - It's ok, you don't have to disclose just how long you spend sitting on the sofa. It can remain between you and I.
6. Daytime TV. It's terrible, we know - Jeremy Kyle? Loose Women? They are something you won't miss when you go back to work. Just remember not to get too into it because honestly, in the real world we don't care who cheated on who.
7. Spending hours browsing Job Sites for something you can apply for - Job Sites are tedious. Or even more so...job applications. You can spend anything from five minutes to an hour filling out one application. And the worst thing? You have to manually enter all of your employment history and everything. Can't we just upload a CV and be done with it?
8. Getting tired of your own company - All day everyday, all you see is yourself. No matter how pretty you are, even your own face will get boring after a while. Don't they say that talking to yourself is the first sign of madness?
9. Never knowing what time or day it is - Not having to work to or around a schedule tends to mean the days and hours blend into one another. It could be Monday or Friday...who knows?!
10. The feeling when you land yourself an interview- Having spent hours applying for jobs, you finally get that call having blagged yourself an interview. Feeling triumphant, you decide to reward yourself with a nap on the sofa and a bit of Jeremy Kyle....
Despite all of this though if you are persistent and committed, it'll be no time at all before you're back at your desk at 9 o'clock on a Monday thinking how much you love your job...bet you can't wait. Roll on the weekend!
