After 7 Months Of Pandemic Unemployment, I Finally Got A Job — Here's How I Did It

Now is the time to pursue what you really want out of life.

After almost seven months of unemployment, I am finally employed once again.

While it is a joyous occasion to be employed again after being stuck at home for so long, it's a situation marred by uncertainty. With the coronavirus still raging throughout the United States, going back to work presents a whole new challenge and opportunity.

With everyone looking for a job these days, it can feel like your job search is unending. You apply to hundreds of places and either get ghosted or you get an interview, do well, and never hear from them again.

Most of the time, they post positions that have already been filled internally or that aren't even available. It can become frustrating to be constantly met with dead ends and empty hopes; I've been there plenty of times.

However, I think this is a great moment to finally start over.

Maybe you were laid off from a job you hated (like me). But now, you can finally pursue the career that you have always wanted to. Have some money from unemployment?

Put it towards a Master's degree or to finally moving out. COVID-19 really opened my eyes to what I truly want to do — to finally begin a career in fashion.

While it's easy to try to spin this situation into a positive one, it's important to remember that things are hard for everyone right now.

Many are still unemployed and 200,000 Americans have passed away due to COVID-19. We're not out of the woods yet, and we still need to continue to fight for and support one another.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
