Learnings From Being Unemployed For 9 Months :

1. Never Leave A Job Without A Job In Your Hand. 2. No amount of dedication and passion will work until you have a great reference to back you up. 3. Changing industry is not easy as companies are not willing to take risks. 4. You end up being stressed and feeling worthless as no one is interested in picking you up. 5. You can not afford to have a break from your career, no matter how much you want it,as it is negative for your resume. I have been through this and know many others who are going through the same just because WE thought of taking out sometime for ourselves or WE stood for something we felt so strong about and now end up being - PROFESSIONALS WITH A GAP - who are judged to be misfits because they left the train! Thanks!!
