Another change in your way of life may be that you will have more time with your family. Look at the possible positive aspects. One side benefit of unemployment could be that while at home, you can get to know your children or spouse or other family members better. Be home when the kids get in from school. Talk with them about school and other events of the day.
Job hunting is a job in itself.
Career counselors advise a person to devote at least six hours a day to the new job search and to write 15 to 20 letters each week. Prepare for a long job search, especially if your salary is high. When you lose your job, look at your abilities and where you want to go. This may just be a turning point in your life that could lead to a reappraisal of your work life.
