Hear us out on this: the job market does not have to be a scary place right now. There are amazing opportunities out there, from open jobs to volunteer work to courses designed to develop new skills. This strange time is also a great time to learn how to engage as part of a remote team and how to be successful while working from home. In this episode, career coach Kristen Earp gives us tools and strategies to reframe our mindset while working from home during a global pandemic.
