I am using my writing to deal with the struggle involved with being unemployed. Writing is not the only coping mechanism one can use, however. There is Art!
Check out the Jacob Heftmann Archive blog. Designer Jacob Heftmann has been making some very interesting graphics about his experiences as he tries to find employment. He is calling it “The Job Application Process”. One image shows how many applications he has sent out, compared to how many responses he has gotten, in the form of a bar graph. Simple images that speak volumes!
I hope this talented designer finds a great job, really soon.
There has been a small change to the Between Gigs blog. As of last night, there is now a “Tip Jar” attached. If you like what you read, and want to show your appreciation in a financial way, you can click on the link that says “Pages”, and follow it to the Tip Jar page. Send your small change to an unemployed blogger! (There is also a link there to my Amazon Wish List, if you happen to want to take a look at that.) I do not intend to mention the Tip Jar every post, or anything like that, but, I thought it was a good idea to announce it’s existence.
