Jobless.. depressing..

I got married early dec last year and had been jobless since then. I am suppose to be relaxing and enjoy my jobless period since i had been working non stop for the past ten years. But I can't enjoy myself totally with the thoughts of no income coming into my bank account every mths. I quit my job last year partly bcos of marriage preparation. My job required me to fly frequently and with my traveling I had no time to prepare my wedding. With much consideration and encouragement from my husband, i decide to take a break and quit my job since I had been toying with changing job for quite some time (i had been in the same company for 8years) and this seem to be the perfect chance to quit and take a break. For the first 2 mths, I am enjoying myself.. going several places for my honeymoon.
I start looking for jobs online after CNY2012, been sending resumes to companies but till now nobody get back to me at all. Not even a phone call. Wondering if there is something wrong with my resume..
I had been lazing around for the past 3 mths and I don't like the feeling at all. I feel that i am wasting my time. Had intend to go take up some courses but all need money. Even though I am not working now, every mth I still have to fork out 1.2k for my parents allowance n insurances..and my saving is depreciating..thus I can't bear to fork out more money to attend the courses..haiz.
My Husband had been very supportive thru out these 3 mths but I can't possibly take money from him to pay for my parents allowance n insurances. He had spend most of his saving on the wedding already.
Every morning when I wake up, I feel so useless and emo..seem like I am going into the depression mode.
My previous company had been looking for me thru my ex colleagues, they wanted me to go back.. But I can't bring myself to call them. I feel so useless and embarrassing..seem like I can't do without my previous company. With my calibre, I can't find a job outside..I am going crazy just to think of what my ex colleagues will think or say if I really go back.
Pls advise me whaat should I do..
 


look on the bright side of things! =) it's always better to work in a familiar environment where you know everything at the tip of your fingers. besides, you left your job becuase of wedding preps and because you wanted a break. now that you already had both, it's not a bad thing to return to your previous company esp since their door is obviously open wide for you! and remember, they want you to go back. you didnt ask if they still have openings! that's a lot of difference you know! =) cheer up cheer up!
 
i also left my previous job and din work for 3 mths..i am not married yet. also can understand hw u feel. as my line is v specialised i took v long to find a job. i dont know which line u r in. i juz feel u shd give urself more time as 8 yrs in previous co is too long and if next time u wan to change job again after gng back to ur ex co, u may face even harder time to get a job as ppl might feel those who r in their same job for eg more than 8 yrs tend to b not daring to take risk or to learn things.
 
Hi sps.. what is bothering most is Y nobody response to my resumes. Is there something wrong with me?
If I get to go new company and try out and find not suitable for me. At least when i go back my previous company..i feel better cos at least I tried. But now is I don even get a chance, just thinking of it made me feel so lousy. Haiz
 
Hi Kitty_pretty_angel,

I m in apparel industy which the market is also very small..especially I am in production area which require alot of travelling to factories. I alway wanna to change job cos this industry is dying soon in singapore. But my only experience is in this area and I also don knw what type of job suitable for me. I send resumes to different type of job available and which is relevant to apparels. But nobody response. Alot of my colleagues, much older than me they already stuck in this job like what u say..cos they cannot take the risk. and I don wan to be like them.
 
ongsoh... same same! =( i also feel very stuck in my job! =( i'm in the higher education industry. haha and there are only so many unis/polys i can move to from time to time. =(

maybe you can send your cv to a close friend to comment on? actually from my experience when shortlisting candidates, i think to land a job its really divine intervention. we receive like hundreds of applications for 1 position and eventually only shortlist 3-5. sooo dont be too hard on yourself.

depending on which is a bigger headache (finances or going back to your old job), maybe can decide from there?
 
Hi Diana, Hw to PM u?
What type of industry u are at?

sps.. finances is most headache now cos my BTO flat will be ready in 2013 and we are saving hard for the renovation fees..

Had send my cv to a friend in HR and she say nothing wrong with my cv wor..maybe I am just not in luck..haiz
 
hi OngSoh, i feel the same when i quit my job previously without another job. But u need to keep on perserving and find another job. u only work 10 years. imagine u work 20 years in same line and get retrenched, most likely u cant find a job since u now already got problems finding. u are young, u better move to a new field and not go back to the old job.

Hi Ladies. There are always different ways to get an income. But in life, your priority will change and your circumstances might also change. One thing I always remember is to 'Never Give Up'. I am also more open to ideas now and more daring to try other avenues. No need to get depress; just keep trying and one door will eventually open.
