How to Stay Connected to Your Field When You’re Out of Work

Whattup, job seekers! All month long, we’ve been diving into long-term unemployment, which is sadly something more and more people are going through in the less-than-ideal job market we’re weathering rn.

By now, we’ve normalized the experience, hammered home that it’s OKAY to get a survival job, and talked through how to explain long-term unemployment in an interview.

Today, we’re forging ahead to a similar-but-different topic: how do you stay connected to your field when you’re out of work or working a survival job? It ain’t always easy, but with a lil chutzpah and a lotta consistency, you can do it.

When you’re out of the game, whether it’s for weeks, months, or even years, it’s normal to fear being forgotten and left behind. It’s a normal feeling because it DOES happen, so you do need to put consistent effort into staying connected to your industry and peers.

However, when we say, “stay connected to your field,” we don’t mean attending every networking event, sending your resume to everyone you know, or going to every seminar.

It doesn’t have to be that complicated.

Instead, simply choose 1-2 things you can do each week that’ll move you in the right direction. Not only will it remind others that you exist and you’re looking for a new role, but it’ll help you feel like you’re still making progress on your chosen career path.

• Attend one event (virtual or in-person) per month

You don’t have to do it all, but you do need to do something, and you need to be consistent.

You know that saying: “Opportunity is where luck meets hard work”? It’s true. The closer you stay to your field, even if you’re out of work or working a survival job, the more luck you’ll have in your job search.
