2/25 Edited to

... Read moreNavigating unemployment can be quite challenging, but staying busy with self-care and meaningful activities really helped me maintain a positive mindset. For instance, trying tooth whitening at Refine Therapeutic was not only a confidence booster but also a motivating way to take care of myself before the Chinese New Year (CNY). Experiencing chiropractic care for the first time at Ren Xin Tang was surprisingly refreshing. It relieved some tension from renewed workouts after a 1-2 month gym hiatus. Restarting exercise after a break can be tough, but the endorphin boost and improved energy made it worthwhile. Spending quality time with my ex-colleagues on a short 4-day getaway was a great way to reconnect socially during this tough phase. Sometimes, taking a break and sharing good moments can sustain your emotional well-being while job hunting. I also discovered the benefits of accepting small projects, like managing gift box orders and running a CNY pop-up booth. These tasks created a sense of accomplishment and structure in my otherwise unpredictable days. Finally, timely travel back to my hometown without the usual holiday traffic was a blessing, underscoring the importance of planning and flexibility. During unemployment, keeping a packed but balanced schedule helped me stay proud of my progress and ready to re-enter the workforce after CNY. Through these experiences, I learned that maintaining self-care, social connections, and pursuing small goals can transform the unemployed period from stagnant to productive and uplifting.

I graduated with honours, then took the lowest paid job in the room
On paper I had everything. The degree. The honours. The A+ in the hardest class. A seat at a big famous firm. Then I started, and almost nobody there wanted to be there. People used their leave to interview somewhere else. One senior looked at me and asked, "Why did you even join?"
