It is not starving but idleness that should worry a person who is out of job. If you sit idle and spend your time doing nothing when you are looking for a job, the chances are that you will have tough time adjusting to the work when you find it. The world has lot of opportunities for those who dare to unleash their creativity. Many people have been blessed with unemployment; I say blessed because it is due to their jobless situation they found their passion and became successful. Instead of sitting idle when you are job searching, you can try creative short-term ways of making some bucks to supplement your income. There are chances that your idea could be so successful that you may not take up the job you were looking for when it comes your way. What are the creative things a jobless person should try out? Check out the 8 options below to find out.

6. Teach what you know

I don’t mean you have to become a teacher professionally if you are unemployed. In fact, I strongly feel teaching should be taken up only by people who are passionate about the profession and not because they have nothing else to do. But, you can teach your skills or what you know to people who need some extra help. If you are good at computers, you can teach computers to people who have tough time learning it, or you can give private tuitions in the subject you are good at. There is always demand for people who can lend a hand in teaching. The greatest advantage for you is that you will never forget what you have learnt by teaching and also you will keep updating your knowledge.

5. Innovative, original and unique products

There is great demand for handcrafted and uniquely designed products by consumers. Companies do not have time to create such products, so you can tap this market. You can help the environment as well, if you start creating products out of recycled materials. You can also buy second hand things online or in market to add your personal touch to it. In no time, everyone around you will want you to design something unique for them. Only you need to be creative in coming up with ideas for creating the products.
