Q: I’ve been unemployed for eight months and I’m panicked. Should I take any job (retail? bartending?) just to make money? Waiting for the right legal job may never happen.
A: Take a deep breath. A state of panic is unproductive and only bad decisions stem from it, like “taking any job.” So you’ll need to apply logic rather than fear in this next leg of your job search. The first step is to get educated about the market and yourself. The second is to create a plan. The third is to execute your plan. This approach will mitigate your fear and set you on the path to control your own destiny.
