so, how was 2021 for you?

​It was a strange year and seems to continue into 2022. COVID cases are way down from the same period in 2021. The ‘Delta’ variant was rather severe, followed in a quarter by the ‘Omicron’ variant that is said, by those that contacted it, was more like the seasonal cold. More variants will surely follow.
 
More than 90% of seniors have been vaccinated or have resistance from contacting COVID. The jury is still out on what is best for children (to a certain age), but reopening classrooms is critical to their learning, psychological and social well-being.
 
On the job front, fewer positions are now fulltime ‘remote,’ however there are still positions and companies that, with the right person, function well remotely and it saves the company money, thus improving profit. I believe that many positions will and can remain ‘remote’ for quite some time.
 
I believe that it is a candidates’ market at present. There will be lots of competition, but with a professional resume and professional interview coaching, you can win The Offer from those that appear more qualified in print. Bravery only comes from facing fear.
 
This will be a wild year. Primary elections...government (so-called) experts with different opinions on COVID on any given day...the national economy...distress in foreign countries...crime rising drastically in most major U.S. cities, and more.
 
As a registered Independent, I find it easier to research the candidates and vote for the one that best reflects the country where my children can flourish. The old two-party platforms are gone or burning!
 
For you, remain positive amidst all that surrounds us! As a country, we’ve survived times with more challenges. You can too!
