Societies are so different, its difficult to give detailed suggestions to someone in another country.
Well I worked for a online company which operated in another country. It was not a regular 9-5 job in my country where I had to go to office and sit there.
But Id like to encourage you to try to consider your options as broadly as possible.
This is why started this topic. Till now I have been surviving well and did not have to worry about money. But that problem is going to start if I dont overcome this situation.
You dont seem to have much faith in finding a job similar to your previous one.
You are correct. If related companies does not have demand for a position then they would not give any priority if I send them my CV. Being realistic here.
You probably know your local job market than anyone of us, but its also easy to become somewhat pessimistic or even depressed after being laid off. Have you considered all possible venues of finding a job: tapping into your network of friends, family and colleagues; using employment agencies, career advisors etc.?
Friends and relatives are good for when you are in a good situation. Not when are going through tough times. At least I have no one to support me to overcome this. I have to do this on my own.
Also local market job is not an option. If I try to get a job there, and even if get one then my costs would have higher than my income. At most I will get an entry level job and will also suffer from psychological problems that comes with local jobs.
Would it be possible for you to go back to school and study towards a new occupation where there are more opportunities available? Can you start a business of your own or set up shop together with one or more colleagues?
I hold a bachelors degree and it has not helped me. Education is something which is valued where I live. Proper links does and I don't have it.
Can you start a business of your own or set up shop together with one or more colleagues?
I am working on something but not optimistic about the outcome. People are good at backstabbing when they get of what they need from you. Speaking for several bitter experiences.
Would relocation be useful in your situation?
No, financially I am grounded now. I was working on that (for personal reasons) considering I will have the job I lost.
Above all, remember to take care of yourself. Dont spend all your time thinking about finding a job; also remember to do stuff that keeps you happy and in shape physically as well as mentally. And keep us posted as to how things work out for you!
Thank you for this. To be honest in this situation, I can not think about anything else other than how to recover from this situation. Hoping will get some ideas from here.
