After all of the COVID19 stuff is over, do you think our industry will change how it operates? More telecommunication/video conferencing at home office. Still fly to sell work and important meetings.

Nope. This is a people business. It doesn’t work without being there in person especially for challenging strategic problems

No. This is a temporary adaptation (although people will use remote tools more and better). Just because fish are kept in an aquarium or bred in captivity to manage a crisis doesn’t mean that they will not go back and thrive in the open waters after the crisis passes. They will also do better at making trips between the aquarium and the open waters.

I was dating someone for about 2.5 years and then we broke up because of COVID and the long distance was making it too difficult to continue. The break up must’ve been like a 4-5 minute FaceTime because I was very distraught. After we broke up, she started seeing someone else but I was heartbroken and it’s taken me over a year to really get over everything and process those feelings. (Cont.)

It’s been 5 months and I haven’t had any luck applying to job postings on the usual sites (no calls, no interviews, nothing).

I am a field marketer. I travel and cover 12 states. HQ is across the US on the east coast.
