Unemployment Success Stories

Posted Tue, 09/21/2010 - 20:41 by chuck

Have you gotten a job or started a business? Learned how to thrive as a stay-at-home mom/dad? Invented a perpetual motion machine in your copious spare time?

It's a hard world out there. We all know how shitty unemployment is. Anybody succeeding?

I'll get the party started: My business is going well. I'm going to turn a profit and become a taxpaying citizen. I'm focussed and on-task. My successes are now legitimate points of pride and my "failures" are just learning experiences. (Yay, therapy!)

Oh, the things that fall by the wayside when we have jobs!

Well, I hope I didn't lose my small but dedicated readership in the several days during which the site went down due to server issues. The good news is that we're back up. The better news is that the site should be considerably speedier than it has been as I have taken some of my earnings and plowed them into a better server space. Unfortunately, this site (and others) did go down as I frolicked over the weekend. With any luck, nobody will get too discouraged about that.

When unemployment becomes "Groundhogs Day"...

Posted Mon, 05/14/2012 - 11:30 by jsp28

Just a little about myself, I'm 26 years old and I've been out of work for nearly 1 & 1/2 years. Went to college for television broadcasting, safe to say, it's not exactly a broadly applicable major/field. I've been working in Live TV since I was 19, so I have roughly 6 years experience working in major markets (Philadelphia, San Francisco, DC).

Hello Fellow Believer:

I am doing some research to see how folks are using their FAITH to deal with the recession – whether they have an income or don’t…

How to not give up when you get tired of stressing over income generation and feeling something is wrong with you…?”

I would appreciate your comments on our FAITH FORUM at http://outofyourrut.com/category/faith-forum/

So many folks are giving up and we need to encourage each other and believe that 2013 will better.

Thank you,
