It is wonderful to take time to get your life in order while you are out of work. So often when people are out of work they see only the problems. There is good reason for that after all. If a person remains unemployed and without income for a significant period of time, there may be unemployment, homelessness and hunger! However, if using the look for the silver lining approach, one would see there is a good thing in being unemployed for a period of time. If you should find yourself unexpectedly unemployed, get out your favorite device and get on the internet. There are several things you can do while on the internet in order to make life better:
- Job Search – employers are increasingly posting and accepting resumes exclusively via the internet

If you have been trying to get in shape, get on the internet get some advice, check out some videos and join some support groups. If you lost your job because you have a bad attitude, get on the internet and learn how to get a better one. If you do not have the skills you need to do the job you want, get on the internet and get some new skills.

I am trying to make a few dollars or save by using coupons or freebies. I need to be productive while I am on internet
Absolutely great idea! Moping just promotes bad feelings at least you will feel productive and that is key.
I also think it’s important to maybe find a new hobby or passion when you’re unemployed and searching the internet. I’ve seen so many stories where someone’s unemployment has bought them to the hobby that eventually turned into a successful business.
