What sort of work are you looking for? Would you be prepared to take something outside of your usual field?

I want to do avoid labor jobs as I have other talents, but I'm not totally against it.

Sometimes it is necessary to take a temporary job that you don't really like just to make ends meet alas.

Yea, but I worry that it will be a waste a time that could have been spent towards building a career.
user

Well true but if there's no work out there that will help build your career you kind of don't have much choice ;)

It would but if you've nothing better to do due to the pandemic it might be worth it Have you considered registering with employment agencies for temp work?

It would be nice to have something reliable long term, but I have done temp work in the past.
user

Me too. It can be a bit soulless but it does pay the bills when you don't have anything else to do. Anyway I hope that I have been able to help you a little and that you are feeling a little more positive about things?
