Laid off from work, but catch up to life... Being unemployed is not all bad. The layoff from work can also be the catch-up to life.
The day before Christmas, I caught up with Monica Calderon in between gift shopping. She has been unemployed since 2008 from a mid-level fashion industry career.
I was wondering what she does to clear her mind and stay sane while looking for work. She tells us how she watches her dogs grow up and her volunteerism with medical research.
This is a continuing series. Her other videos can be found at:
