Helpful Resources for Job Seekers and Remote Workers
January 21, 2020 brought Taco Tuesday, my birthday, and the United States' first recorded account of the Coronavirus. During this time of unprecedented public uncertainty, let's all do our part to flatten the curve: Practice Social Distancing. Support Small Businesses. Wash your hands. Check in on your friends and colleagues. What does their work from home situation look like? How is this affecting their business? Their clients? How can you support them? We will prevail and be stronger as a community, and a country, for it. In the interim, tacos still taste great on Tuesdays and birthday's can still be social, from a distance!
If you're in need at this time, I encourage you to check out the helpful job seeking and remote work resources below.
