As the summer of 2020 draws to close, our team has learned an incredible amount of helpful information, skills, and tactics for dealing with the massive changes we’ve seen in our professional and personal lives due to the upheaval and uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the quarantine. Now our team would like to share some of the things we’ve learned with you, so that you might be better prepared as we enter into this next phase of working while dealing with a worldwide crisis. Advanced Hires as a whole has been able to keep our heads above water, and we were even recognized as award-winners for being able to Pivot Not Panic when COVID threw new challenges our way.
We asked our employees to write a few thoughts, tips, and tricks they used during quarantine that they would want to share with other professionals that they believed might help them. The responses we got were so thorough and well-thought out, we decided to create a new series! Today are some suggestions from Director of Recruiting Tina Rock:
“Throughout COVID, I have found myself spending more time cooking, which has been very appreciated by our family. I have been using different spices, trying new recipes, and experiencing the joy of providing nutritious and delicious food for everyone. Making sure to stay healthy is impacted by eating right, so it’s really important to keep up with nutrition, especially during a quarantine.
“Having the extra time with our children has brought about bonding that we would not have had if they were not having their schooling at home.”
Also, having the extra time with our children has brought about bonding that we would not have had if they were not having their schooling at home. They have turned to me for help with assignments, advice on how to study, and have been more open to conversations about their experiences with online learning. Our family unit has gotten stronger, and it’s nice to be able to recognize that during a time of such uncertainty.”
