Talking About Unemployment ｜How to Start Over | English podcast for intermediate learners (B1-B2)

Описание: 💼 LOST YOUR JOB? How to Start Over

Have you ever felt stuck in a job that drains your energy? Or have you faced the fear and uncertainty of unemployment? You are not alone.

In this episode, Henry opens up about a deeply personal chapter of his life: walking away from a stable career as a software engineer after ten years. He shares the raw emotions of that journey — the fear, the family pressure, and the loneliness — and how he eventually found a new path and a sense of freedom.

This conversation is for anyone who:
✅ Is currently between jobs or considering a career change
✅ Feels stuck in a routine and craves more freedom
✅ Wants to learn how to explain employment gaps in English
✅ Needs a reminder that life has no "regret pill"

You'll learn:
• Practical phrases to describe unemployment (e.g., "between jobs", "laid off", "made redundant")
• How to answer tough interview questions about resume gaps
• How to handle awkward questions from relatives
• Psychological terms like "dreading" and "coping" with change

💬 What You'll Hear:
Henry's true story: Leaving a 10-year career to start a street stall
The "Island vs. Shore" metaphor for loneliness
Why "no one is coming to save you" is actually good news
The connection between life challenges and learning English

🎯 Key Takeaway:
Life doesn't offer a magic pill for regret. We can't turn back time, but we can move forward. "Unemployment" isn't the end of your story — it's just a transition to the next chapter.
