Becoming a little bit less unemployable

Hello World, or future me who will read this. Hopefully, when I have a job.

Basically, I am still unemployed but a few things have changed in my life, the first being I am actually getting work experience, so I am waking up before 9am lol and doing monday to Friday every week. The first week was hard but now the week is going faster.

Today something special happened and I guess I wanted to talk about it because it's a positive and good thing. I was asked to speak in front of all the people at where I work and there were about 40/50 members of staff and I had to talk in front of them for 5 minutes.

I was asked yesterday and I agreed and when I did it today, it just flew by, I said everything confidently, or from the feedback that they gave me. The thing about public speaking is that I have done it before with uni and school so I had to force myself to not be nervous and just to get on with it and I guess it's paying off because after I finished it a lot of people said how well I did and even now I opened my email and there was a lovely email about how I preformed and I just want to cry because I haven't felt this proud of myself in a long time. I haven't felt this useful and smart and that I had achieved or done something worth will in a long time and it's nice.

Staying at home is great but those little accomplishments and achieving something in the workplace, the praise and compliments. It feels even better and I want that.

What is the next plan?
This changes all the time but for me right now, I want to get a job. I want to apply for jobs, to take it more seriously and to put myself out there more often.
