BeThree

You know yourself best and are continuing to work on being the best version of yourself that you can be. It’s true in life, at work, and in dating (which I separate from life because it literally is its own microcosm of work and play and exhaustion). Think about it, when you’re being the best version of yourself, you end up seeing opportunities that you maybe would have missed. I think when you’re in a place where you’re ready and able to accept it, you’ll end up getting much more than you ever imagined.

Similarly, a family household can use the ratio to know whether they can rely on having enough short-term assets readily available to pay your short-term debts. Your family may own various assets, ranging from monetary assets (or financial and more liquid assets), tangible assets (e.g., cars, houses, or furniture), and diverse investment assets. A typical example of current assets your family household may have: Summing up the amounts of $500 +$1,500 +$1,200 + $1,000 + $400 + $3,000 + $4,500 + $1,000 + $15,000 equals $28,100 in total current assets. Total current liabilities are the sum of the amounts of $6,000 +$5,400 +$4,500+ $12,000 + $1,000= $28,900

Visit a homeless shelter or an animal shelter, a soup kitchen, or help out at a donation drive (for instance, canned goods, coats, shoes, etc). One way to know what’s happening in your community and to find ways to give back is to join charitable groups or a non profit organization in your area. If it’s difficult to get involved in community activities, and you are in an industry or line of work that gets paid per service, or has clients, then consider taking on pro bono cases or clients. By taking the time to volunteer and give back to your community, you also gain the chance to meet different types of people from all walks of life.

Career counselors can also help you access the hidden job market and use social media (such as LinkedIn) to help you find opportunities. It takes an average of 9 weeks to find a new job, but this statistic doesn’t reflect on how the pandemic impacted our current job market. If you feel stuck and keep sending out application after application because you don’t know what else to do, a career counselor can suggest alternative approaches to get you better results, like job interviews and job offers. Even if it’s not ideal, it’s easier to find a job when you already have a job.
