Please drive slowly ing management will see better times and hire us back. Regardless of the reasons, unemployment makes many of us feel upset and alone. After awhile, many of us just stop looking for work and we become apathetic- we get a feel- ing of "do-nothingness". - Many of us begin to think that we are failures and that we will never find another job. The worst part of this is that these feelings all feed into them- selves and they just make matters worse. Unemployment is a difficult situation for many to deal with. There is not one way of coping with this problem that works for everyone, but here are some sug- gestions that may make things a bit easier. ; Firstly, talking to someone about how you feel may help. When people lose their jobs, they feel quite sad, upset and alone. Many people are surprised when they discover someone else _ is experiencing the same kind of feelings. This allows people to come together to discuss different ways of how they can help themselves. _ It may help to find that you are not alone. By all means, talk to relatives and friends who have also experienced these times of unemployment or "lay off". Secondly, by avoiding a feel- ing of apathy or "do-nothing- ness", perhaps you can get into a better frame of mind. Keep yourself busy by involv- ing yourself in all sorts of activi- ties. If you feel that you must look for work, take those first steps by writing a resume. By involving yourself in activity, you become too involved to think about "feel- ing blue". These are only two sugges- tions to help people to cope with the problems of unemployment and lay off. Unfortunately, these sugges- tions may not help you to get back your job, but they may help you to keep a positive frame of mind until you get back to work.
