My dream job is the CEO of the American Red Cross. I felt this way before the pandemic. I have worked in emergency response before, and I miss it. I wish I was one of the people helping right now. My children will ask me what I was doing during the covid-19 pandemic, and I will only be able to say.... well... I gave blood. I stayed inside. I made a lot of excel spreadsheets, and I baked a lot of cookies.

I have almost 2 years of gap in my career due to medical issues, but not its recovered and I am trying to rejoin again. I applied to so many places but has been seeing only rejections either due to gap and either due to my over qualification.
I am truly tired of applying and waiting for their call back and reverts, Its like getting into depression slowly slowly.
Is their any place where I can get hired soon. Please help me.

What is a useful, comprehensive but not too long of a book for parenting toddlers?

LO is 16 months old, very sweet and social, at the park every day with other kids with either me or her nanny. Not in day care. Yesterday we had a play date and she slapped another baby on the head. Not hard and did not scare her, but the act of “aggression” took me by surprise and I felt terrible about it. I’d like to be more proactive about toddler psychology, what’s to come and how to react/ teach. TY!

Just had my midyear review. I got very negative feedback even though I have been killing it last few weeks. Manager pointed out I had been hard to reach in March (I had contacted COVID and was going in and out of hospitals) and said I had QC issues (which I don't contest when I was first starting out, but it's been getting a lot better). Partner dialed in and said manager communicated her comments to him and I can call him after I digested it. How do I approach this situation?
