I can’t say I’m surprised though as most DJs during that era were known to abuse all kinds of substances and had to manage a non existent sleep schedule, long flights all around the world, and jet lag. It takes a toll on your body.

- Company tried to grow too fast

2. I feel like it’s a call from the universe to focus on what I really want. At the same time, not having the stability and the experience and growth from a job where I stayed long term is, I think, affecting my resume negatively versus someone who stayed 5 years at one company and was able to grow and have a bigger impact.

3. I was really ashamed the first time and didn’t even ask for Employment Insurance as I didn’t even know I was eligible. I didn’t ask for help and it was a big mistake. This time I’m doing it differently, asking for help, introductions, referrals. It’s nerve wracking though. Having to reinvent yourself that often and applying to hundreds of jobs isn’t fun at all. I’m now applying every morning and take the afternoon to focus on my hobbies or everything else that’s good for my mental health. At least it forced me to understand that I’m not my job and my worth is not dictated by my job or my employer. I also stopped reading news/reddit because of the negativity around the current market. I know it won’t be easy but I don’t want to be reminded about it every day.

I was laid off last week along with 10+ of my coworkers. I took last week to completely disconnect and process the news. This week I started to reach out to my network: a friend of a friend working at LinkedIn gifted me 6 months of Premium, friends at Microsoft/1Password reached out and offered referrals, and many others reached out to offer support.

This is the third time it's happened to me since I moved to Canada and weirdly enough I'm not freaking out as I already know the drill and have a plan laid out.

What are your best pieces of advice when it comes to job hunting?

Doubling my salary and being paid what I am worth by doing what I wanted to do brought me a peace of mind I never had in the last five years (since I immigrated to a new country). I do not have to worry about so many things anymore, it's truly amazing and liberating. I can focus on what truly matters. I can take risks. I can plan for the future without having to go to the depression realm of looking for a better paying job.

Did I hate the jobs I did before? Some of them, but the money aspect stressed me a thousand times more than the work itself. When you don't like your job and do not have the money, you have to worry about both. When it's only your job, you know what to focus on and if you have enough savings, you can be bold and take risks.

A few years ago, I read this NYT article titled "Your Job Will Never Love You Back" [1] and that tagline is stuck in my head since then. Your work doesn't define you and even your dream work will have boring parts.

I'd suggest to go to therapy to focus and work on yourself. Better days are yet to come!
