Husband can't find a job: what should a woman do?
20.11.2024 05:10
The instability of the labor market forces those who have lost their jobs to look for work.
While society looks calmly at a woman in search of a job, an unemployed man is subject to condemnation.
Everyone can guess what the representative of the stronger sex himself experiences at such a moment.
Of course, a lot depends on a man's character. A husband can confidently achieve his goal, or he can passively "wait for the weather to change." Both categories need the support of his wife.
What does the wife feel at this moment?
No one is immune from unemployment. Men are often looking for new career opportunities, lucrative offers to build their own business.
Time may pass, and the head of the family, updating his resume, sits at home. At the same time, he does not forget about computer games and TV.
The wife's reaction in such situations is predictable: scandals, tears and persuasion to go to new interviews. In response, she gets aggressive behavior or reflective withdrawal. Quarrels are inevitable, but it is necessary to look for a way out.
The wife is obliged to analyze the events that are taking place: is the husband really unsuccessfully looking for a job or has he simply relaxed and sat on her neck.
Spouses should talk frankly to each other, express their attitude, and try to do this without mutual reproaches and quarrels.
A woman should carefully find out about the true feelings of her unemployed husband.
Offering your help and trying to look for options is one way to help your spouse.
The main thing is to let him know that there is reliable support and encouragement next to him.
How to help your husband find a job
Motivation for successful achievement of the goal is equivalent to filling the tank of the car with gas. If there is a desire, then the opportunity will arise. You just need to support the man and make him understand that in a difficult period of life his wife will be with him.
Recommendations of psychologists for women
Be on your husband's side, try to do without criticism, reproaches and humiliation. Especially in the presence of other relatives or acquaintances.
Continue to be a woman, and not the only "working unit" in the family. Let your spouse know that he is still the strongest and most beloved.
Plan future useful expenses and purchases from your husband’s first earnings.
Without pressure and in a businesslike tone, offer to consider the vacancies found.
Keep calm and don't panic. The husband, seeing such behavior of the spouse, will feel much more confident.
Help from the outside
Spouses need to make all decisions quickly and jointly to ensure the fastest possible employment of the stronger half of the family.
You can suggest that your husband contact the employment center if the reason for dismissal was staff reduction. The minimum unemployment benefit will be a small help during the search.
There is an opportunity to undergo professional testing, including online, to identify work skills and abilities in other areas.
By contacting a career guidance consultant, you can learn how to write a competent resume and successfully pass interviews.
Looking for a job is not an easy and responsible task. Family support is extremely necessary for a man. It should be provided in difficult times with respect and love for the spouse who is out of work.
For reference
Work , or labor, is a human activity aimed at creating values or satisfying the needs of the individual and other people.
