You know you're unemployed and living in "La Crisis" when.....

  1. Double-digit unemployment figures sound normal.
  2. You have memorized all the job vacancies in the career search websites.
  3. You have edited your LinkedIn profile as "Full-time, Self-Employed JobSeeker" to sound more exciting.
  4. You recently saw some part-time trainee position that sounded absolutely fascinating.
  5. You go to a party with old friends and more than 20% are also unemployed.
  6. Headhunters call you to see if YOU have job openings that THEY can manage.
  7. Shops are liquidating, left and right...and you STILL don't have enough money to take advantage of the discounts!
  8. Creating a new business seems more realistic than finding a job.
  9. You catch up with your network of contacts, and they ask YOU for help in getting a job.
  10. Living with your parents sounds like fun...

Do you have more examples to share???
