Don't let unemployment defeat you!

There is so much discussion about how companies can raise their staff productivity and how self-employed people can become more productive themselves that it can be safely said that there is an abundance of relevant resources to cover all points of view.

However, even in this case, there is an important piece of the puzzle missing that has to do with the methods and procedures used by an individual to maintain his/her productivity while being out of work, either voluntarily or involuntarily.

Although productivity and unemployment may seem to be irrelevant and conflicting concepts at first sight, being unemployed of course doesn’t mean that you have to stay in bed all day long, waiting for someone to call you for an interview.

Being active while unemployed is not strange, and in fact, it is the best way to get out of this difficult situation.

The problem of connecting back productivity with employment is a big problem for society. Unemployed people may accept this situation and surrender to accept their fate and stay out employment opportunities.

The biggest enemy that people in unemployment have to fight with is a passive attitude that they have created around themselves, which has to do with lack of confidence.
Building self confidence is the first step towards increasing productivity while being out of work. This can be achieved through engagement in activities not directly related to finding employment.

It is important for the unemployed not to stop being active in sports activities, for example, because although it sounds irrational to have physical exercise when you should be really looking for a job, it can help you boost your self confidence, clear your mind, adopt a more optimistic approach, and finally become more active in job seeking.
