By the sixth week, the initial shock of being unemployed has completely worn off. You have set your priorities like all the career counselors tell you to do. Once you have a plan, you should know what you are going to do. Funny thing is that the people that are telling you this haven't a clue about what you are going through. This is the week when you hit the "shoals" of your journey. It's this week when all the busy bustling has settled down and you realize that you are in it for the long haul.
Some experience this lull at least once a month as they reassess their plans. This is all good, so the experts say. You need to take that time or end up just desperately taking anything just to survive. Some have had that experience too. The worst thing you can do however is panic like that because you'll regret it later. Believe me.
If you are anything like I am, you would like to know what's next. I have always said that I don't like being kept in the dark, and I have always told my now former employees the same thing. If I knew that something was going to happen that would affect them, I would tell them right away. You are doing nobody any favors by holding information back. I can tell you this that you are not alone.
This week is the time you need to try to connect with someone else that has experienced what you are going through now. This is your turning point. You can either wallow in despair or you can do something about it.
