I was in your shoes. What I would have done differently...? Two things: I would have listened to my gut more, every time I thought to apply for a job I didn't want. Instead, I'd have networked a lot more in the area that, in the end, was for me.

I appreciate having gone through the process. I did stay active throughout my protracted period of unemployment, professionally and personally. I took advantage of the time I had and invested in home projects, also projects that were tangential to my professional life but served me well in the end.

I may have become employed a lot sooner if I'd had more coffees and attended more professional events. Basically, I should have all but acted as if I were already in this field. More people would have seen my face. I'd have been up on current events in my special area. And, of course, there may have been opportunities that would have come along sooner.

I was unemployed for over a year and a half.

Hoping you find work soon!
