Any idea to utilize time??

Hi! I'm a job seeker after finishing Masters in VLSI Design & Embedded Systems. I feel, my mind is empty now, so i keep going through books, just to brush up such as
Advanced Embedded Systems, Digital Design, Logic Design

So, any new idea to best utilize time effectively, that i should be doing now as i do not want to repent later saying i should have done that then.. So, please do let me know about books or courses, exams and related stuff.

Thanks

You can still build things even if you are jobless. People who are interested in practical electronics don't have empty minds. They are too busy tinkering. Are you someone who was trained in electrical engineering but has no real zest for it?

yes yes exactly! but its all over now. One word is, i think I'm not best in this or my potential lies in other subject (but still far better in comparison as i have completed even a masters with good record).

Anyways no point thinking about not being one right, have to move on, its past .
you still have any doubts??

You could study up on English! Find some kind of employment, or something that looks like employment. Hiring managers rarely hire people who say that they're currently unemployed.

English.. hmmm thanks but let me think!

When i said jobless, i didnt mean it by choice. Obviously I'm looking for a proper job and if hiring team do not look for ppl like me, i can't lie as this is what the situation is. Let's see, if those rare managers catch my profile to offer a job. Problem was not about finding job rather to find ways that occupy me most of the time effectively.
