At the end of my first year, I decided to be unemployed.

2025/8/28 Edited to

... Read more私が社会人1年目の終わりに無職を選ぶことになった背景には、当時の厳しい職場環境がありました。看護部長の冷たい言葉「あなたみたいな人は、ここから逃げても何も変わらない」は深く心に刺さりましたが、同時期に辞めた別の男性にかけられた「またいつでも帰っておいで」という言葉と比べると、自分の置かれていた状況の理不尽さを感じずにはいられませんでした。 無職になることは、多くの人にとって不安や焦りの象徴かもしれません。しかし、私にとっては立ち止まり、自分自身を見つめ直す貴重な時間となりました。この期間に「勇気」を持って新たな道を模索することができ、4年後には満足できる「今」がある人生を歩めています。 無職になる人の特徴として、環境の不適合や自分の価値観とのズレに耐えきれず辞める方も多いですが、その決断は必ずしも後ろ向きなものではありません。自分らしい暮らしや働き方を模索するための前向きなステップです。私の体験から言えるのは、理不尽な環境に無理して留まるより、自分を信じて新しい挑戦をすることの大切さです。

Interviewer asked why I’m “still unemployed”
Just had a phone screen and the interviewer straight-up asked why I’ve been unemployed for months… even though it’s only been two months since my last full-time job. I laughed it off and said the job market’s been tough, I’m constantly applying, and sometimes someone else just fits the role better.
