I have to follow up about the mandatory job workshop at the unemployment office. It wouldn’t be fair to leave it with a lot of negativity lingering. I went there thinking that it was going to be a waste of my time, as if I have so much else to do right now. Honestly, if I hadn’t gone to that this morning, I would probably just be rolling out of bed and nursing a cup a coffee. I expected it to be only practical for those who were in low-end jobs and to force you into just taking any job you can get. This was totally not the case. They provided many resources for job searching and free resources the state provides, including grant possibilities. They also had great advice on interviewing skills and answering questions. You think when you’re in your 40s and have been working for 20 plus years that you know it all, and have all of the answers when it comes to this kind of stuff. The truth is, there are plenty of people who know better and have a lot of good advice to share. So, while with age comes wisdom, it’s wise to realize you don’t know everything, so keep an open mind.
