7 Ways to Support Your Unemployed Husband
5. Take a short vacation
Job transitions, new appointment letters, job search, job applications, recommendations, resignations letters – all these things may have taken a toll on your husband’s mind. You may want to consider getting away on a weekend to help your husband rejuvenate and recharge. He will be able to come back with a clear mind and this timeout will help him to regain focus in life.
6. Motivate him to pursue a hobby or develop a skill
Your husband could easily invest his free time in a new skill or pursue a hobby that he may have left long time back. Being engrossed in a hobby will not only be creatively satisfying for your husband but it will also help him gain confidence in him. If it is a new skill that he decides to pick up, he will be in a better place to pitch his resume at his next job interview. Either way, your husband will seek satisfaction in the fact that he is making productive use of his free time.
7. Get him to use his skills online
If your husband is getting frustrated searching for jobs all day long, you can help him do something constructive online. Guide him on how he can offer his services on online portals, maybe even sell a thing or two on eBay or Amazon, or write a blog about topics that are within his area of expertise. Besides keeping him occupied, productive online activity may even turn him into an entrepreneur.
