"If you could sit with me, you would realise that I'm not okay emotionally, physically and mentally. God I trust you," Charity shared in her post.

Life coach encourages a positive and proactive approach

Briefly News reached out to knowledgeable and experienced life coach Penny Holburn, who shed insight on how Charity could better deal with her current circumstances.

Penny advised that Charity keep reminding herself of what she brings to an organisation and spend time with positive and supportive people.

"Remind yourself it takes a long time. It is not easy to find a job in South Africa. It is not about you, it is about the economy.

"Allocate time each day to finding a job. Then tick off the tasks each day. Remind yourself that each time you spend time trying to find a job, you are moving one step closer. If you give up the search, you are most likely to never find a job."

Penny also advised Charity to research how to improve her CV and cover letter and consider looking for new and innovative ways to find a job.

"If you have the time, then take a course. There are lots of free online courses, and if you improve your qualifications in areas that will help you find a job, then you are spending your time productively.

"Lastly, do some things that you enjoy. While it may feel like your life will only start once you get a job, you do want to try and make the job search as pleasant as you can," Penny shared.
