  2. Unemployment is a socio-eco- political issue, for obvious reasons, but at the same time it is a psychological phenomenon as well.

  3. Few of the reasons of unemployment:

  4. Fear of social disapproval We all are scared of our friends, parents, relatives raising eyebrows; constantly asking why aren’t you doing anything? Are you looking for jobs? Why did you quit? Being unemployed may bring a share of social stigma.

  5. Making Work as a part of one’s identity We take work as a core of our identity. How many of us introduce ourselves as a professional of the company we are working for? The conventional response to” what are you doing in life?”

  6. Managing finances One of the prime concern of being unemployed is budget constraint. We all need to meet our ends.

  10. Network Get in touch with your college seniors/mentors, professors, ex-colleagues, managers and even friends to let them know what job roles you are looking for.

  11. Physical Activity Engaging in physical activities like exercise and walking can give you natural high.

  12. Schedule Looking for jobs whole day can take a mental toll on you. Schedule particular time slots for job search/network, hobbies, eating, exercises, etc.

  14. Social Support Since fear of social disapproval is one of the major implicit concerns through the unemployment phase, it is best to be surrounded by loved ones and share your feelings with them.

  15. Speak to a counselor In the times of confusion, and apparent perception of lack of support and clarity, you can always speak to a counselor/life coach.
