Summary
Although the first US COVID19 case was noted in January 2020, the initial impact was simply a tiny ripple in the economy. It wasn't until the beginning of March that it began to feel like a tsunami was overtaking our country. Of course, we are all familiar with the narrative…jobs have been lost, the DOW has plunged, and people have suffered so many personal losses.
Soft Skills and Digital Literacy
While remote work may not be the new norm, it certainly has the potential to impact the new norm. You don't have to pretend that you have loved being at home, but it is good to present it as a viable work environment for you. If you have been out of work, or you've found the telework life a bit of a challenge, take advantage of ways to grow your soft skills and update your digital literacy.
Networks are Key
Whether or not you've been hit by job loss, this pandemic has had an equalizing power to it. I find that we all tend to realize that we do not have immunity or control to the impacts of the virus, so that gives a little bit of camaraderie with each other.
