These tips will help you get through:
1. Get a cheap house
Donât strain yourself so much now that you donât have a job. Go for a single house or a bedsitter and you can always move to a larger house once you get a job. The goal here is not to lead a luxurious life but rather lead an affordable life.
2. Food
Forget about those expensive food joints for now. In fact, cook your own food instead of buying. Also, you note that buying food stuffs from supermarkets is quite expensive. So, go to the market and get your groceries and buy other stuffs from the small shops. Itâs way cheaper.
3. Drop Uber
I know itâs more convenient but that can come later. For now, opt for public transport and walk for shorter distances. That 10 shillings you pay for a short distance could get you some data bundles to apply for a job.
4. Meet people
When you are jobless, you may be tempted to just stay indoors in isolation. But you need to get out of the house and meet people. Go for social events, coffee dates once in a while or volunteer at some place. The people you meet may end up linking you to your dream job.
5. Make something out of your hobby
What is it that you like doing? You could turn your hobby into a business. If you love cooking for instance, you can do it for money. Even if you wonât get much money in the beginning, it will sustain you as you wait to get a good job.
