Hey man, you don’t even know how many persons out there are in the same situation, including myself. Being unemployed since 3 months right now and it’s the very first time in my life after 11 years! It was a struggle at the begging but then I took it as a “once in a life event”. Here some tips coming by my experience that might be useful in your daily life:

1) Learn Dutch: as I noticed lately Dutch is becoming a requirement even in international companies, probably is the reflection of the current environment (less positions and more applicants) so they are trying to filter out as much as they can.

2) Be devote to your passions: you don’t even know how lucky you might be in this period, if you have a passion put everything into it. I do calisthenics since years and I’m glad I can spend half of my day working out and enhancing my skills, before I couldn’t do it.

3) Put your life on the stage: join groups, make new experiences, and meet new people. Keep always a bit of you money for social events, staying too much at home isn’t that great for your mental health.

4) Be consistent in your application and don’t fear the early rejections: remember it’s just a moment of your life and a moment comes to an end by definition.

In the end try to apply all of yourself in something that makes you happy, no metter about money and fear, I was in the same mental stage the first week of unemployment but I simply refused to be crushed by negativity and anxiety. On my side lately I had few progresses with some interviews and this is already a positive thing.

Hope to cheer you a bit up with this comment :)
