Tips to Note -

Regardless of how you might feel, know that you will be employed
again no matter how long it takes. Good employees are hard to find.
Maybe, being unemployed may even spark your own entrepreneurial
spirit. So you might even start your own business. However,
positive things will not happen until you change your mindset and
start to do something productive.
