Being unemployed is stressful and challenging. If you become unemployed, your new full-time job is finding your next great opportunity.
For some, the logical choice is taking any position to bridge the gap. This “survival job” provides needed income while the individual continues the search for better employment.
“Taking a survival job does several things,” said Louise Dunn, a life coach. “It helps relieve the tension of being unemployed, keeps people engaged in life and needing to show up in the world, and it can reveal some yet-undeveloped talents. Add to that the advantages of bringing in income with continued health benefits, a feeling of self-respect and a chance to make this job a bridge to something better.”
