Today, you got your pink slip and told that your services are no longer needed. You put your all into this position and this job was a blessing because you were out of work for two years. So many things had to be put on the back burner because you had to travel an hour and a half to work because there were not positions located locally.
To start your job, you had to use your credit cards because you had to charge one thousand dollars to get your professional attire together to start this job, and you needed money to commute. A lot of money was spent out before you started working and this created debt that you couldn't escape.

During your time of unemployment, you struggled with depression and no one knew what you were dealing with because you tried your best to not wear your problems on your sleeve. A lot of people thought you were doing well financially because you kept yourself well-groomed while going through the process of financial disaster.
You had contemplated suicide if things did not get any better. The main thing that you didn't want, was your family to see you as a loser.

What I want you to know, many of us have dealt with financial ruin even me.
I had to leave an abusive relationship many years ago and I had student loan debt. Yes, I was embarrassed because I felt like a failure, it was so hard to recover as I had a very small child.
Below, you will see my video regarding this.
It was a day-by-day struggle to make ends meet and yes, I dealt with depression, but as
I look back I can see that this struggle made me stronger because it gave me the tools that
I needed to make it through.
I am only telling you this because you lost your job which is a very serious thing but keep pressing on
because God will definitely make a way. When you are dealing with financial issues, the only way is to go up and you have learned the lessons to keep you from experiencing this ever again.
There will be another job because you have the experience under your belt and hopefully you can find a way not to depend on credit cards because they are " the devil.'
Clue your family members about what you are going through financially, they may even be willing
to help you, if not financial, maybe lead you to a new job.
Stop being embarrassed about things that are beyond your control.
- Take any help offered to you. There are many agencies who are willing to help you, you just have to seek them out, some even provide services to help you get back to work.
- Do not wear your clothes around the house that you use for work. Wear Jeans or sweats and this will prevent you from wearing out or damaging your good clothes.
- Go to the Library and read a lot of books regarding making an impressive resume or books that will teach you skills to make you more employable and attend free workshops.
- Venture out of your area and out of your comfort zone because sometimes the people who you may think are at the lowest part of the totem pole will be the ones who can tell you where to get free training or free food.
- Goodwill, Salvation Army, and The United Way are some places that you can call to see if they know or provide job training or job placement and if they don't they may know who you can call.
- Pray and ask God to be your provider and he will.
