Recession is hard enough but its even harder if you are unemployed with a family to support. You're lucky if you have received a decent separation pay or early retirement benefit from your former company, or if you are one of those "saving" type of person who religiously saves a portion of their salary every month then you have enough money to start a small business of your own or a venture with your former office mates. Earning from your hobbies is also a good way to earn additional income because you enjoy what you do and you earn at the same time. Like my husband who is an electronic enthusiasts, he earns additional money from his part time job fixing electronic items in the neighborhood such as cellphones, MP3s, laptops and personal computers.

Be careful in spending it. Be wise about it. Think of the more important things rather than spending it on something that is unnecessary. For those who are unemployed, why don't you use a portion of your money that can help you establish a small business that is appropriate for your skill set and experience. This might help you ride out the recession. Use this opportunity to start your own business and profit from it. Just be careful in doing so. Like I said, be wise in spending your money. Think of your basic needs and if you have enough money to establish the business. Think of your family, be resourceful, use your talents, and be patient when looking for a job.

It may sound easy but when you are faced with never ending rejections in looking for a job, it is so convenient to stay at home and just wish that you will one day win the lottery. Print a custom resume for as many as job listings as you can find and promise yourself to go all out by the end of the week. Make use of your network of friends. There are instances that your possible employers are just living next door. Think of any demands in your community and supply it like mowing the lawn for a busy family. My tip is to never give up.

It's not easy to find the next suitable job these days, so what do you do? Look for smart ways on how to make money at home. Check out your attic for things that can still be used by other people. Sell these items and think of ways how to double the money you made out of the garage sale. Try selling services, like if you know how to do computer repairs, even if it is just for software, spread it around your neighborhood and in no time, people will start coming in asking for your help. If you like being an entrepreneur, venture into buy and sell. Buy stuff in bulk or wholesale and sell them individually. Do these while waiting for your job application to push through. If for some reason you enjoy this far better that having an office job, then you may have stumbled upon your niche. In retrospect, think of it as if you haven't lost your job, you never would have discovered that there is far better way to earn a living, and it's doing what you love to do.
