5 Things Learned While Unemployed

Tac Anderson shares his tips for being unemployed (after working at Amazon for 9 years). 

1) Have at least 6 months of financial runway so you can hold out for the right job.

2) Cancel every unnecessary subscription to extend your runway. 

3) Treat finding a job like a job. Get up, get dressed, and set a number of hours that you’re going to work on it. 

4) Finding a job is a numbers game. Apply for every role that might be a fit.

5) Reach out to friends and catch up. Your network is a great place for job leads and you’ll want human connection if you begin to feel low.
