Those who know me well, would agree that I am generally a very optimistic individual. I have my ups and downs like any normal human being (holy crap I am calling myself normal...yuk), and there is nothing wrong with that.....it is called life.
Anyway, as my working life is not so busy, you have more time to reflect without any negative influence...an opportunity to take stock as it were. As upsetting as it was to loose my job, I am now beginning to wonder if it was a blessing in disguise? Looking at my previous role, it was time for a change.....and taking into account the current management in that department, I don't believe I would ever have had an opportunity in the near future to diversify. So, was the act of loosing my position more positive than good?
I will say one thing, it put me on a track where I have been able to work with an outplacement agency on studying my profile, which is proving to be very rewarding. My current question is to whether to take whatever job comes next or, should I use the safety net of the local unemployment services and work at finding a job that I REALLY would like to do? It is a question which could conflict with my inner moral standings that I have always lived by. However, I do not want to miss taking a career path to where I would potentially be the most content I have ever been in my career?
On the other hand.....the risk is long term unemployment, a path which can bring about most negative influential consequences, depending on how I would or would not handle it.
Time to consider.....
