So I recently quiet my job its the first time in 12 years I've been unemployed. Going to take some time out. Is it as hard to find a job while actually out of work or is that just a social/economical myth. |

Depends on the industry! Afew years ago when the company I worked for posted looking for staff we would get hundreds of applicants, we posted a position a wk ago and not even 20 replies and out of them at least 8 didn't attach a cv!
So really depends on how you present urself, ur experience and ur salary expectations!
Best of luck though and enjoy ur time out  |

"No pal it really is hard to find work when ur out a work I no from first hand exsoerience "
Hopefully that has changed for you mate. I'm a chef by trade so there is plenty of work in that sector just wondering how long do I take off before it becomes a factor. I'm thinking a couple months off shouldn't be an issue. |

Back in the day that was true but once things picked up, a whole bunch of people who were in jobs that they hated but couldn't leave mid recession, took that leap.

I totally believe it, the last 8 or so years were an employers market, that's changing and fast |

Good luck lad. Maybe a little break is all thats needed but maybe use the time wisely and do a part-time course to develop your skills or read up on some motivational techniques. Hope you enjoy your time off. |

I walked out of my job recently and thought the same because that's what I was always told but I had a new job in less than 2 weeks so I believe that if you want something you can make it happen! |
