My immediate reaction was to send applications out en masse for any and every job, which my husband agreed was a good plan, and it’s still early days to hear back about any of them.
A) It’s totally understandable that your first instinct was to send out mass applications after losing your job – being in that position can be unsettling, and wanting to secure something quickly makes sense.
This way, you can continue to have financial security while giving yourself the space to build your freelance career and grow your business, which will let you assess how it fits into your life without you feeling overwhelmed.
I know the sensible thing is to take another job and have a salary again ASAP, but now I can’t stop thinking about working for myself – help!.
If you feel like jumping straight into it would be too much, consider taking on a temporary or part-time job for a few months.
