At this time last year, the thought of a global pandemic impacting the U.S. was slowly developing while most of us went about our daily routines. With minimal warnings from federal and state governments, few prepared for the massive shutdown which was about to take place.
I actually think we have held up pretty well. Some of us have been more proactive in taking care of ourselves and our families while others have ignored restrictions. There are very few who have not lost friends or family or dealt with Covid 19 at some level.
As usual, our society is trying its best to function. We are not the types who can lock down for more than a few weeks without going crazy but perhaps that is a bad thing. Taking a step back in has helped some states get control better than others.
When it comes to the workplace, not all professions align with virtual work. Some fields need to remain open and others are realizing that remote work is not successful. Keeping that in mind, job seekers need to be realistic. For example, if you are adamant about working from home, do not apply for a job in a medical office or retail setting expecting that you can be virtual. Should virtual be your choice, use common sense when applying for jobs you could actually be comfortable with.
