Boise, Idaho based Wirelend has recently published some useful tips and guidelines on how unemployed workers can make use of their free time to earn money while looking for a new job.
“Unemployment can be very hard and stressful but it is very important that you take your time and do not feel pressured in getting a new job just to make ends meet. By forcing yourself to work on a job that you actually dislike, you are only setting yourself up for another unemployment disaster,” says Charles Ensign of Wirelend.
According to the company’s website at Wirelend.com, the first step in being financially prepared is to save at least 3-6 months’ worth of living expenses to serve as an emergency fund. This money should be kept on easily accessible instruments and must only be used during financial and medical emergencies, including sudden illness or accident, unexpected estate or vehicle repair, and unemployment. “By having an emergency fund, you are buying yourself some time so that you can keep up and move on with your life without derailing your financial stability. Furthermore, you will be able to make better choices about your career and future employment,” Ensign said.
Aside from building an emergency fund, it is also advisable to modify and adjust spending habits during unemployment, such as eating out at restaurants, buying premium coffee, or going to the mall to prevent unnecessary expenses. Much of the uncertainty that comes with unemployment is related to having limited finances couple with too much time. Ensign noted that, “It is very easy to lose track of time and finances when you are not working. You might think that going to the mall is a good way of passing time but in reality it will only result in emotional spending. Using your time wisely and implementing a modified budget will not only keep your finances healthy but also prolong the lifespan of your emergency fund.”
While waiting for an interview or a call back, jobseekers should also make use of their time to work on some of their personal projects. Most people are passionate about doing things other than their jobs, and they may use utilize their surplus of free time to finish their own tasks and assignments. This surplus is also very convenient to spend quality time with the family, connect with old friends, do household chores and repairs, and learn new hobbies.
When additional funding is needed, looking for a temporary part-time job is one effective way of earning a supplemental income. The internet is a great source of part-time and freelance jobs that actually pay decently. “There are a lot online platforms that offer remote part-time, and even full time, jobs for writers, web developers, artists, graphic designers, and many more. However, as a general rule, always consider the time you’ll be spending on a given project against the money that you’ll get from it,” he said.
Those who have difficulties making ends meet due to unemployment may visit Wirelend’s website to find out more. They recently published Funding for Unemployed Workers: What You Need to Know, an article that can benefit those who are in need of professional help and advice to better address their current financial situation.
Ultimately, one should understand that job searching can be a very frustrating and complicated process. “Accepting a job offer for the sake of having a temporary source of income will only worsen, not only your financial stability, but your future career choices as well. Having a clear mind and a positive mindset will guide you to make informed decisions that will be more beneficial in the long run. Self-awareness is a crucial tool you can use to address your weaknesses and further improve your strengths as an employee,” Ensign added.
