I graduated from college in December 2013. Since then I accepted a horrible per diem job which I ended up leaving. After that experience I went back to working at CVS. At the time it felt like a huge step back but it ended up being an amazing opportunity to get my feet back on the ground. Then in November I found what I thought was my dream job. Unfortunately when you join a growing company you run the risk of joining a company that has overstaffed and the dreaded "last to come first to leave" rule.
So as of today I find myself unemployed.
I am about to turn twenty three, married, living with my parents, and unemployed. I'll have to start dipping into the money I worked so hard to start saving up.
I feel so defeated. I feel like a failure. I feel like I have no idea where I went wrong or where I am supposed to go from here. I'm just hoping the right path opens up for me soon.
When I told my dad he said, "Lots of stuff to think about and consider. Be sad and grumpy and pissed off for a bit, then start thinking about smart next steps".
So that's what I'm going to do. I'm going to have an epic pity party and enjoy an awesome lunch today followed by a giant glass of wine tonight. Then I'm going to move on. In some ways this is a blessing. My husband and I are young and now we have the opportunity to move wherever we want and wherever life takes us. So I'm going to make the most of it. I am going to apply for jobs that are really a good fit for me. I'm going to finally get through the pile of books I've been meaning to read for ages. I am going to finally start blogging for fun; sharing book reviews, journaling ideas, job hunting experiences, etc.
Thank you for reading and good look with your own life journeys!
