Nathanial's Underemployment Story - Episode 6
This is episode six of Overcoming Underemployment and on today's episode I'm sharing Nathanial’s underemployment story. I actually met Nathanial over three years ago at a professional development conference that I paid for myself to go to when I was underemployed. We stayed in touch through social media and I was so happy to see his name on my list of guests for the podcast. We had a really great conversation and we talked about Nathaniel’s story, how he got to be where he is now, where he thinks he might be going next, and how underemployment affected him financially and socially.
If you've been listening to the podcast and you're waiting for the episodes where I tell you how to get through underemployment... wait just a little bit longer because that will be the topic of the upcoming episodes.
I hope you enjoy this episode and as always if there's something in it that you like or you don't like or you haven't thought about please let me know on any social media @jessicailutz and make sure to use the #UnderemploymentPod.
- How Nathanial ended up unemployed, and then underemployed after graduate school
- Doing slightly unstable contract work that led to his current position
- A hasty 3 AM cover letter led to his current position
- Going from underemployed to meeting his five year plan… In three years.
- How underemployment warped his sense of goal setting
- I am where I wanted to be… Now what?
- When he realized he was underemployed
- How underemployment affected his social life
- How underemployment exacerbated his stress about money
- How the money struggle mindset follows you even when you’re not underemployed anymore
- How strange and wonderful it is to have paid time off: sick time and vacation time
- How words of encouragement like, “Unemployment isn’t forever,” don’t feel real when you’re there
- You’re not special: underemployment isn’t just your problem
- The experience of comparing yourself to others on a similar path
- Being happy for others even when you’re miserable
- His advice for someone who’s underemployed right now
- Networking is just making friends “with a tie on.”
