Get Rid Of Self Blame

Learn to accept your fate of losing your job; you are not alone, and it is not the end of your world. Do not blame yourself for your unemployment. According to the Office, for National Statistics (ONS), “The total number of unemployed people has increased by 81,000 in the past three months and now stands at 1.72 million. This the highest level since June 1999, when it reached 1.74 million” (Butterworth, 2008). Since 2008, the United States has experienced instability in unemployment status. According to the Labor Force Statistics (November, 2019), the status as per the end of year from 2009 to 2018: 2009 – 9.9%; 2010 – 9.3%; 2011 – 8.5%; 2012 – 7.9%; 2013 - 6.7%; 2014 – 5.6%; 2015 – 5.0%; 2016 – 4.7%; 2017 – 4.1%; 2018 - 3.9%. Good news! Unemployment continues to drop; it is now 3.6% as of November 2019 (Bureau of Labour Statistics, 2019).

Honesty

First, be honest with yourself. Then, be honest with your family. Do not pretend to go to work if you know there is no job to go to (O’Donnell, 2009).

Embarrassment

You were embarrassed as a human resources representative escorted you out of the office. It is a feeling of shame and humiliation. Keep hope alive, all will be well with you. There are National Career Fairs in your region (National Career Fairs.com).

Fear

The fear quickly presents itself in what seems to be your world of darkness. That’s okay since it is normal to have fear around, but only for a short time. If you allow fear to stay around for a long time, the recovery process will be complicated.
