It's officially been two months since I was last employed. It's not the worst thing, I've been enjoying my free time especially as we prepare to move back to NJ. I can tell this break was a much-needed one, I've been sleeping better and just generally happier than I was when I was working.I've had…
When talking about unemployment, I often talk about how many companies ghost you after you send in an application. You might get a confirmation the application was received, you might now, and you most likely will never hear from them again. I’ve applied to around 25 jobs now, most of which I didn’t hear back…
I’m bitter, I’m sad, I’m unmotivated. No, I didn’t get broken up with. I just got laid off. It feels a lot like a break up, like losing a part of yourself. Because you put so much time and effort into this relationship, this job, just for it to end. And when you lose it,…

I honestly can't stand all of the articles I read that are like "You're in your 20's! Quit your job and open up an ice cream shack in the Bahamas!" or "Don't worry about getting a job - backpack through Europe and find yourself!" Come on, I live with my parents and barely saved any…
I've been struggling with imposter syndrome a lot recently. My boyfriend and I have had to have a lot of discussion about our future careers. Where we see ourselves going, where we would need to live, what we really want to do. And it makes me question myself a lot. I've been with the same…
