Work

 

Think about…

  • How does the domain of financial wellness impact your life? How it is related to your wellness?
  • Does your current job allow you to meet your obligations and have resources to do things you enjoy?
  • Are you working in a field that you are passionate about or do well? Or are you looking at doing something differently, perhaps more personally gratifying?
  • Are you looking for paid or volunteer work?

Resources…

  • Check out the classified ads— particularly on Sunday. Search them online any day of the week.
  • Explore sites like Careerbuilder.com or Monster.com, and consider establishing a profile on LinkedIn.
  • Visit the unemployment office in your state or county to find classes that could train you for a job.
  • Have your résumé updated so you can promptly submit it when you see an opportunity.
  • If you receive disability benefits, explore your work options without losing SSI/SSDI benefits until you can support yourself. For a guide to working without affecting your benefits, go to: http://www. socialsecurity.gov/pubs/EN-05-10069.pdf
