It’s hard to be unemployed, mostly
for the money due to you have to pay the bills, but there are other reasons that
make you feel down or depressed about being unemployed. One of them is that
although you might dedicate your whole time to look for a job you feel like if
you were doing nothing, and that sensation is quite annoying, another is that
sometimes people tend to criticize or talk behind your back about why you don’t
have a job, why you were fired or how long have you been unemployed.
Other reasons are that you might
feel that you’re not contributing to the economy or society and that you’re
wasting your time and thus your life. I know we want to do several things with our free time while we get the next job but sometimes that’s not possible due
to the lack of money; and that’s the paradox, if we have a job then we have
money (some of course, not much) but we don’t have time and if we don’t work,
then we have a lot of free time but then we don’t have money and we can’t do
what we want or go where we want since we don’t have money we wouldn’t even
have money for the gas.
Then, here are some things that are
cheap or for free and that you can do, so you will be using your time in a
useful way. These are not tips for getting a job but for spending your time
wisely.

1. You can take a course at
Coursera. There are a large variety of courses and topics, you can choose a
course that matches your professional profile, thus you can update your knowledge
or, in a hobby you might be interested in and you hadn't had a chance to
dedicate it time due to your previous schedule. You can take as many courses as you want, I
don’t know if many at the same time, but you can take all you want one by one;
don’t worry, they’re for free.
2. Learn to play an instrument.
Try several instruments and see which one is the best for you or you like the
most, you don’t have to buy them all, just try them for a while and if you like
that instrument you can buy it. Knowing how to play an instrument is useful for
getting a partner, improving your social skills and giving a good impression to
your interviewers.
3. Learn a new language.
Learning a new language is a good way to spend your time in. It can help you to
improve your CV and if for some reason you can’t get a job easily in your
field, you can do it as a teacher in a regular classroom, as an online teacher
or as a translator. It is said that learning a new language could be hard, take
a long time and is expensive but you can learn a language on internet, there are
several resources on internet for free as videos on YouTube, web pages and you
can hear some TV shows or movies in the language you are interested in, that’s
the best way to learn a new language no matter if you are enrolled in a
language school or not, due to you will need to test yourself if you understand
native people or not; you will end up watching TV shows or movies, no matter if you're studying a
formal course or not. Doing this will help you a lot to see how native people
speak in real life.
4. Invest in Stock or
forex market. This requires an investment but with time, and when you’re
working it could help you with your expenses. You don’t have to worry because
you don’t know anything about online trading since many websites for trade have
courses and guides to help people who are newbies on this. A page in which you
can search to check if the websites are trustable or not is NFA

5.Look for some ways to earn money
online. Try to search on internet ways to make money online, not all have to be
spam, don’t be so skeptical, but try to search carefully, not all what it is
said on the internet is true. Then, give to yourself the opportunity, maybe in
some website could be the opportunity to get money or even can quit your job or
stop looking for it if you want. If you want, you can read a way to make money
online here
6.Do exercise and lose weight. A
good and healthy way to spend your time is doing exercise and losing all those extra
pounds that hurt your health, make you look not so well as you would like and don’t
let your self-esteem grow up. You can set up certain goals according with your
physical strength and once your strength gets stronger, you increase the intensity
of the workout. You can do this for free, you don’t have to go to the gym, you
can walk half hour as fast as you can, you can skate, run, ride bicycle, etc.,
all these things will help you a lot.
If you do these things you won’t
feel that you are wasting your time, I hope you can enjoy them and find them
useful. Good Luck
