Dear Queenie,
I lost my job a while back and I’ve been hunting for a new one, but it’s hard these days. I don’t need the money, but it’s depressing not having someplace to go every day and not feeling useful.
Queenie, how do I get through all this?—Ex-employee
Dear Ex-employee,
Surely you have skills learned in your former job that would be useful to some community-service organisation. Not only will volunteer work keep you busy and make you feel useful again, it also will look very good on your resumé and you may make contacts that will help you in your job-search.
