If You Have Been Furloughed ... Beef Up Your Skills
Immediate Scenario: The job-site has been shut down, and you are out of work, possibly for more than a month.
Temporary Solution: The government sent out a one-time, $1200 relief check, and is extended unemployment benefits. This will help a little, in the short term. While most of us will be able to go back to work after the pandemic has passed, whenever that may be, many will not have a job to return to.
Preparing for the Future: The stark reality is that many companies and employees have not prepared well enough to survive beyond the current economic downturn. Many employees have maintained the status quo of their skill set, it had always been good-enough in the past.
