Hello! I finished a scriptwritng while taking your course! I would appreciate if I can get any feedback on the script. Thank you so much !! 

It's about me spending unemployeed time for 6mons in new country.

HOOK

I'm fucked.

I moved to a new country six months ago. BUT (Pause) I'm unemployed.

For my entire adult career, I was the woman with jobs in three different countries — always busy, always moving, always "on."

BUT now? Nothing. No job. No plan.

But I didn't lose myself in there. I actually found my voice.

SET UP

I applied for everything. Every job posting, every day.

Everyone told me: "You'll be fine, it’s so easy to find english speaking job" (I’m in the Netherlands)

Turns out — not so much.

Language barrier. Visa issues. Rejection after rejection. 

So I stopped applying. And for the first time in my life, I had absolutely nothing to do.

That's when something weird started happening.

BUILD

Every morning, I opened my Dutch app before I even had tea. I thought — maybe this is the missing piece.

Three months of that. But still no callbacks. Nothing.

I kept thinking: what if I never find my place here?

Some days, I didn't even try to apply. I just walked.

I noticed things I never noticed before. Like how the light hits this one corner every day at 5pm. A bench nobody sat on. The garden right outside my door.

I started sitting there. With a book. Or nothing at all.

At first, it felt like I was wasting time. turning to 29, no job, sitting in a garden — that's not what a "career woman" does.

And slowly, I started writing. Not job applications.

What I was scared of. What I actually wanted. Things I hadn't asked myself in years.

Change

But then, one afternoon in that garden (Pause) it hit me.

Doing nothing wasn't the problem. It was the only thing that let me hear myself.

I love documenting my life.

I didn't find that in a job posting. I found it sitting still.

Reflection

I'm still unemployed. Still figuring out where I fit in this country.

But (pause) I'm not rushing anymore.

I can be more honest about what I actually want.

Some days, instead of refreshing job boards, I just... make videos like this one.

It turned out, (slower) the break I didn't choose might've been exactly what I needed.
