It’s been over nine months that we have lived in sea of COVID craziness that has not only affected our health and safety, but our day-to-day work lives as well. In particular, most of us have worked from home and many have suffered financial consequences from austerity measures by their employer or even layoffs. From a recruiting perspective, the job market has largely been stagnant as could be expected with a worldwide pandemic, except for a few exceptions such as corporate and estate planning. With the promise of a new vaccine(s) getting FDA approval, we can now finally see land on the horizon, but it’s still going to be a while for most of us before we make it. That being said, the hope is that the pending distribution of the vaccine boosts confidence in the market while we wait for mass vaccination. Continuing with this analogy, it seems that the most challenging part is still ahead of us though with an increase in COVID cases and deaths akin to crossing the breaking waves before touching land. Let’s stay positive and take the necessary precautions so we can hit the ground running when we do touch land.
