How do you treat weekends when you're unemployed? Do you take breaks from the job search and spend time with family and friends, or do you keep up the process during the weekend as well? I try to treat my job search like a full-time job and they get a couple of days a week, so I take the weekend to recharge and chill with my kids and partner.

I can't, so i spend at least some time on Saturday morning job searching and then Sunday after church

I can't because I need a job to resume health insurance so we can continue to fund my wife's anti cancer meds

Usually I would try to consider it an actual weekend unless there was a good role due on Monday and I had procrastinated ;) But I did find that many ATS systems were down for system maintenance on weekends, which, while understandable, was frustrating if that was the time I was using to apply.

I sleep alot and binge watch TV shows

What are weekends? I am looking for work SEVEN days a week which is also why since 6/3 to today I have submitted 92 applications and have had a few phone screens. I know an offer is coming any day.

3. How is the work-life balance and job security for people working in India office?

Thanks in advance.
