As long-term unemployment climbs to its highest level since the pandemic, 41-year-old Emily Groveman spent nearly two years applying for jobs — sending out resumes, working with recruiters and leaning on her professional network. Once a hospitality professional with the NBA and later a marketing team leader, she’s had hundreds of rejections and months of living off her 401(k). Now, she says she’s choosing a different path — trading resumes and rejection emails for quiet reflection at a Buddhist temple in upstate New York, where she’ll work at a retreat center in exchange for free housing. #work #buddhism #job #jobhunt #buddhist
