American’s (and the World) are discovering we’re all much more vulnerable to the unforeseen, in ways we couldn’t have imagined even one month ago. Our lives have all been flipped, literally overnight. We don’t have control of what’s going to happen, no matter how much we try. At this point in time, we’re all vulnerable, we’re worried and in need of support. Your personal assessments of it all, will determine to what degree you're worried.
I think COVID-19 will be defeated and result in disruptive, but positive innovation and change, in all sorts of areas. Already, the most obvious example is working from home. Too many employers have ignored what could be a part of the solution to their staffing issues and resisted allowing working from home. Necessity is now delivering new ideas of how to interact online and not only with work. Many of these strategies are going to live on and evolve into ubiquitous tools for the future.
Right now, online interaction is actually supporting our being closer to each other. While there’s personal “social distancing”, there’s more positive, personal interaction online. There’s also a trend of more empathy and support and less social discord, like bullying. We’re seeing daily examples of people reaching out to support friends, family and even strangers. I’m a believer in giving back and doing what I can to help my colleagues and fellow professionals. I know others agree and they will find ways to help others also.
To that end, I’ve decided that I have valuable experience and skills that can help professionals on a broader scale than I’ve ever attempted. I have always had a resume, portfolio and career counseling service as part of my Recruiting and Consulting practice. Now, I’m offering it to anyone, everyone (in marketing, advertising or digital media) who might need help or some new ideas.
If you’d like to take advantage of our Career and Resume Consulting (http://bit.ly/34FG8aG) practice, please let me know. That consulting also includes portfolio consulting (or case studies for Account Service) and LinkedIn advice. My goal is to make this service available to as many as possible, for free or greatly reduced fees.
If you’re making less than $50K, the service is free for one hour of consulting.
If you’re making between $50K-$100K, the fee is $100.00 for one hour of consulting.
If you’re making over $100K, the fee is $150.00 for one hour of consulting.
