Many of us are loosing money not being able to work. We will have to get a second job once the lock-down ends. It is important to have our resume, cover letters, and LinkedIn profiles ready. While we wait to return to work, we have rent or a mortgage to pay. Some states and or counties have Eviction Moratoriums and some do not, I have a link to check where you live. AORN is having a Townhall about Covid-19, Kai Nexus is having a webinar for quarantined kids and the podcast Checks and Balances has information that can help build interviewing and resume skills. Also, some fear that we are running out of food, are we?
