Fishes - anyone else missing travel big time? I live very close to YYZ (by choice give pre-COVID world) and now watching the few lingering metal birds fly by make me a bit nostalgic already. My flights were my me time, and hotels were a second home.

Bit of rose colored glasses looking back. It's easy to remember the best of times/ perks of travel and cast aside all the sacrifices that lifestyle requires.

Personally, I'm pleased I've been able to be remote this entire time, and I hope a return to normalcy looks something more like 25% travel versus 100%.

Agree, next normal cannot be back to normal. Why let a crisis be wasted by not learning?

I’ve grown comfortable being remote with colleagues - miss the client part.

True. Longest ever that my partner and I got to spend so much time together! Not complaing at all, just missing being on the airplane.... Up In The Air 😀

Hi all,
I graduated during Covid with a double major in business administration and business management with a minor in marketing and magically ended up in sales because I needed a job. I’m about to take a data analytics course to make an attempt to break into that field. I’m currently looking for a mentor to help guide me during this time. Also, if anyone is willing to look over my resume and give me tips on how to make it more presentable for recruiters in DA that would be very helpful. Thanks

Hi, I'm an employee at a hotel chain who works remotely. I've been working remotely for over a year now and I love it! The company I work for is very supportive of remote workers, which is great.

But there's one thing that's been bothering me: it's hard to get feedback on my work when I'm not in the office. It would be great if there was some kind of system that let me know how my performance was being evaluated while I'm working on projects from home.
