Shame Won't Get You Hired

Holiday weekend = time to beat yourself up?

Read this before you cancel your joy.

Extra time with family.
Extra money on travel or takeout.
Maybe even money spent on things you literally set on fire 🎆

And suddenly... the guilt creeps in.

Because you’re out of work.

So anything extra feels indulgent.
Feels wrong.

Can you even afford this? 💸
Do you deserve this?

Maybe better to skip the fun stuff.
Let everybody else enjoy the weekend.

Because THEY aren’t out of work.
THEY earned it.

But not you.

Instead, better to…
Hunker down.
Beat yourself up.
Really make yourself feel the weight of it all 

Maybe that will motivate you enough to find a job.

If that’s your inner monologue…
STOP. 🛑

Because not only is that thinking wildly inaccurate—
It’s also wildly unhelpful.

Here’s what’s more accurate:
You’re out of work.
It happens to everyone.
It’s nothing to be ashamed of.
It does not define your worth 💥

More accurate and more helpful:
While you’re out of work,
realize the most powerful thing you can do
is protect the part of you that still knows—

You have value 💎
You are safe 🛡️
You are trustworthy 🤝

Because the moment you get clear on that—
employers will too.
