No Monday blues when you’re unemployed… just Monday silence. No meetings. No commute. Just vibes and job applications. Some days I miss the chaos. Other days, I just miss a reason to wear real clothes. Anyone else starting their week with hope?

Sometimes I go to the library to get work done or search for jobs, to get out the house and to remain productive. But even that gets boring after a while of looking for jobs.

Always keeping hope alive! (In the words of Rev. Jesse Jackson.) It is not easy to stay encouraged, but giving up is SO not an option. We just continue to put one foot in front of the other, stay tenacious, get creative, get audacious... We truly have no choice. At least I know I don't. And I have to believe that something will eventually break; maybe not at the amount of money I desire or even need. But ultimately it will happen. I believe it!!! Praying for us all!

The only thing is miss about Mondays is the pay. Every job I have had has been stressful on Mondays, or didn't pay enough (the last job, which I liked). I do surveys, so it isn't totally silent, but it is sure of a lot better.

Monday is an off day for me, as is Friday. Job searching and applying can be concentrated on the other days, long weekends are for friends and family. There’s not enough new jobs popping up in the market anyway to really warrant a daily application spree. I still get emails in case something pops up that I really want to apply to.

Definitely try to keep the faith and hope this will be the week where you get several calls and maybe out of those calls you will land that interview, then the job. Definitely miss those days though, like I love getting my nails done but im like why when im at home?

Yeah I also ask myself that 😄. Sometimes I just look for an opportunity to leave the house and doll myself up

I wasn't until I just received an email that I finally landed an interview this week. After spending the last 3 months desperately applying everywhere, I have to admit I was losing a little hope. But fingers-crossed this is the one. At least it's a step in the right direction 🙏

Yes it is, all the best in your interview.

I finally got two interviews after four months of complete radio silence. I'm excited to actually see progress and momentum. I'm trying to let that motivate me to apply even more and not get comfortable with the idea that one of these might turn into a job offer. I hope everybody has a productive and meaningful week!

That's good news, all the best with your interviews.

Thanks Joyce

Anyone have any idea when the hiring freeze might end within AWS ProServ? I’m currently at Amazon and have a TS clearance, PMP & CSM.
