Unemployment...

[tweakoncoffee]

The reference I made on December 9 was in reference to being put on an unpaid leave of absence from the company for which I work. It was not because I was a poor performer (I am a solid performer). On top of that, the company has recently gone through some major changes.

Now, so am I. I have not been unemployed for who knows how long. I have always been in school (full-time) or been working. My sense of self in this state is pretty odd. I am trying to come to grasp with it. I have plenty of talents, energy, intelligence, and drive, and I will find the right way to apply all that. But, strategizing to what direction or directions I should apply that is not a simple procedure, as I have been through so many changes in my life in the last couple of years. I am not the same person now as I was when I started with this company six years ago.

I have a resume out there and am in the process of working on others, but it is still not the same as being immersed in work with which I am already familiar. It is very demanding and an ambiguous process right now.

Has anyone been in this situation? How did you see your way to a better position and circumstance?

Thanks for any advice you can give.
