Thank you so much!! I am glad you enjoyed the video!

You are so welcome! I hope they make your job more magical!

Hey there, thanks for sharing. I think it's totally normal to feel like that sometimes, even when everything seems perfect on paper. Maybe it's about needing something different or changing up your routines. Don’t beat yourself up over it; everyone’s journey is unique. Consider exploring what's missing through journaling, meditation, or talking to someone. I hope you discover what's missing and feel happier at work soon!

I know the feeling! I worked in a call center for a couple of years handling health insurance customer service. It was the most draining and miserable job I ever had. I was so exhausted that I had to see a doctor for migraines and even ended up in the ER with a severe one. What helped me get through that tough time was practicing gratitude, taking pictures, and noticing the changing seasons. These small things didn't make the job less horrible, but they did make it a bit more bearable. I hope you find something you enjoy soon, but in the meantime, I commend you for recognizing the bright side of having a paycheck!

While I have different beliefs, I appreciate the positive attitude and encouragement. I wish you the best on your unemployment journey and best of luck searching for something new!

I'm sorry to hear we're in the same boat! Unemployment can be really challenging. I hope you find something soon. Stay positive and best of luck with your job search!

@@RachelElizabethW same to you:)

It's amazing how small changes, like getting out of the house, can make a positive impact on us. Thanks for sharing and watching!

It is but luckily I have unemployment for 6 months and enough savings to be without a job for a year. It is a tough job market right now so I’ve met and networked with a lot of people who have been unemployed for 5 months and most of them even longer. I’m keeping my fingers crossed, looking for opportunities and building my resume and skills.

@@RachelElizabethWshit I am sorry it is so tough to find another job. I have a government job in my country but I know somewhere in the next few years expenses reduction will become a priority and I expect I will have to lose my job as well.

Thanks for the kind words. I am sorry to hear about the uncertain future with your job as well. I hope it doesn't happen to you!

Yes, still searching for a position. Im sure something will come my way though. I don’t drive so delivery service isn’t an option for me.

That might be true, but I do have 18 years of experience in customer service and currently transitioning into a career in communications and digital marketing. I don't have as much experience in that industry but I'm working on it by taking certifications and applying what I learn to my YTchannel. I believe things happen for a reason, though I respect that everyone has a different philosophy on that. Thanks for your input!

I'm sorry to hear that! I hope you find something soon!

@@RachelElizabethW I've been thinking along the same lines as you. I was going to start posting, but I feel kinda off. I also am not sure I should use my real name? So many variables to consider. I've been a graphic designer for 28 years. On my resume, I say 14. I took off all the dates. I look young for my age, so I keep covering the greys. I'm 54.

I completely understand your hesitation about using your full name. I decided to use my first and middle name, but I've seen others use their first and last. For privacy and safety, I'd be cautious about using your last name. A pen name could be a good option too. I've heard from some recruiters that it's a good idea to remove graduation years and focus on relevant experience from the past 15 years. While I haven't personally faced ageism, being in my 30s, I can see why you're cautious. It's so hard to navigate with so many variables and conflicting advice from recruiters and experts. I hope you figure out what is the best path for you!

@@RachelElizabethW Good idea. I've done that name update.

@@AmyRaeVee Awesome! I'm kind of paranoid about privacy on here ha. I try not to show the front of my house or mention the name of my suburb, etc. You just never know!

Hello! I haven't called yet. I tried changing my playback and paused resolutions and deleted my media cache. I did install the new Epidemic Sound plug in so maybe that is causing an issue. I think I will try to uninstall it and see if that helps. It is really frustrating though! Honestly, if I wasn't doing YT during this I would be so lost. It def gives me a purpose and reasons to be excited. I just hope the job market gets better soon for all of us! Thanks for watching and sharing!

Hello and welcome to my channel! I agree about the negative comments and I think a lot of those people are projecting their insecurities, jealousies and/or pain onto others 🤦‍♀️ Thank you for the kind wishes. I hope you enjoy the rest of my videos!

This is common to all YTers. Some people out there are miserable pricks, and look to reduce others to their own misery. Misery loves company as they say.

Yes, it's unfortunate but true that some people out there are just looking to bring others down.

Hey hey! Thanks for watching!

Congrats on the job offer! That is amazing! I actually have not spoke to my manager since the call that I was getting laid off. I heard through the grapevine they were told not to really say anything to us 🤷‍♀️ If I needed a reference for a job I am sure I would be able to get that though. I did some mock interview questions on Google through the certificate I took and that was helpful. I will have so much to do for interview prep when that time comes. Thanks for watching and sharing your experience! Good luck in the new position! Keep us updated!

I think I am having a hard time because I have my broadcasting degree but no real experience. My resume is primarily customer service and analyst gigs. Most of my digital marketing is from my hobbies and the certificate. It also seems to be a VERY competitive industry. Maybe its my age? Who knows, I am going to keep trying though! I am using the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 in the kitchen. I have been using that camera more over my canon m50 because it is much more convenient for vlogging and getting in little spaces. I didn't know I could do that in Canva either! First time I ever tried! It was the new AI feature they added. There is so much Canva can do now its crazy! I made the dinner menu in Canva too. I can def dive deeper into my previous corporate experiences! Thanks for watching and sharing!

😂 I thought about doing that but we rent so I didn't want to deal with putting them back on or storing them. My bf, also did not like my open cabinet idea because he didn't want everyone seeing our mess haha. He gets so annoyed with the open cabinets but has his own ADHD haha.

Hello! I am glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching! 😄

It definitely is! I wish it wasn't. It's a struggle for so many right now. Thank you sharing and watching!

Thanks for your kind words and support! It’s been a bit of a rough ride on the unemployed train, but there have been a lot of positives too! I’m really glad you enjoy my content. Honestly, connecting with you and others has been such an awesome experience. Thanks again for the good vibes! 😊🙌

Hey hey! Thanks for watching! I hope you are doing well!

You can catch the price at 1:37. Make sure to watch the entire video for a full dive into all the camera's details and features from a vlogger's perspective. Enjoy!"

t makes a BIG difference to know you are not alone. I hope you find your motivation soon. Luckily, I am starting to feel better.

I agree!

Yeah, it sucks what happened, but I wasn’t the only one. They laid off over 1,000 people this year. They told me it was a position elimination, but I knew they were having financial issues and running at a loss. No one knew it was that bad until there was another round of layoffs after mine. The job market is terrible. I’ve applied to 54 jobs with no calls yet and rewritten my resume about five times. It’s disheartening, but I just keep trying. Thanks for sharing and for your support.

I agree it is very hard right now. I have even tried similar roles to what I was doing previously and I am not getting any calls. I hope this job market turns around soon. Best of luck to you!

Thank you. I am still unemployed and searching. I am confident something will come my way though!

Awesome! I will look up her channel. I always love finding new vloggers.

I have thought about doing a video like that for the last couple of years but never got around to making it. I might put that on my autumn video list.

Yes!! I found Henry Rose. It’s a safer perfume brand that’s EWG certified. Really love their scents. I got the sample pack.

No, I actually didn’t buy power sheets this year. I decided to try the artist of life planner. I haven’t really been sticking to it very well though 🤦‍♀️

@@RachelElizabethW Ok. Thank you. I’ve decided I’m not buying one next year. UNLESS, miracles happen between now and 1/1/25.

I’ve only heard it once thankfully but it seems to be a generational thing (gen x/boomers).

I will have to check her channel out!

It really is. I’m over it.

Helllo 👋 so happy to have you as part of my YT community. Thank you so much!!

I get it! The job market seems to be pretty rough right now. It is hard to find anything that is a reasonable commute or remote. I hope you find something soon!

Thank you!!

It is! Small and lightweight. Def the perfect lowkey vlogging camera.

YESSS!!!! I couldn't agree more. I feel like a shift is coming where this is the new mindset. Putting yourself before a job, having REAL work-life balance, etc. I know some people make their job everything, but many of us don't and we get judged negatively for it or are not paid fairly.

⁠​⁠@@RachelElizabethWAgreed, a mindset shift is def in the works. I feel like it’s a generational thing, with the influx of younger/millennial/gen z folks in the workplace and taking a stand… Putting ourselves before a job, like you said… More and more ppl are actively rejecting the societal narrative that, as an adult, “you are your job”… We’re fed that idea our whole lives, and then things don’t go as planned… Like it’s no wonder why there’s so many adults feeling empty, lost, adrift…

@@42rose YESSS. This is so true. I hope it changes within my lifetime for the better!
