Stories
Your story helps someone feel less alone
Unemployment is common, and it’s rarely talked about. Sharing what it’s really like makes it visible, and reminds people there’s no shame in it.
Not sure what to write?
A few sentences is plenty. Pick one of these, or write your own.
- What surprised you most about being between jobs?
- What did someone say or do that actually helped?
- What do you wish employers understood?
- What kept you going on the hard days?
How we use stories
- Every story is read by a person before anything is shared.
- Nothing is published without your consent, and you choose how you’re credited.
- We may edit for length and clarity, never to change your meaning.
- Ask us any time and we’ll take it down.
