Virtual Edward 40 Hands. If it's a firm sponsored happy hour, see if you can swing sending two bottles of Colt 45 and a roll of duct tape to each person ahead of time.

Scribble.io

It’s a browser based game where one person draws and everyone else has to guess. You can even add your own “dictionary” of words to spice it up

Best virtual happy hours I’ve been to were the ones we didn’t hold. I get the attempt but after
10-12 hours of Zoom, I’m out.

If it’s firm sponsored, get a company to host it! I have some vendors that I’ve liked for virtual chocolate tasting/making, wine, cheese tasting, distillery - lmk. Usually runs $30-100pp depending on offering.

Otherwise. Scribbler, Drawasaurus, Geoguessr (less interactive), Among Us, Food Cubes on Sporkle, Weekly Maps (nerdier but fun)

Yeah haha it was a making/tasting in one. Some people on the zoom didn’t get too far in making and just went straight for tasting 😅

Yes!! Good stuff

I heard about one where the team did a virtual scavenger hunt through google maps street view. Boundaries were set to like 5 block radius around the local firm office downtown.

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?

We have our last session of the year of our group/guest financial education cycles at our Downtown Toronto office this Saturday. We go through our first financial education session that we talk about basic to higher level of financial information; from saving, investing, risks and returns, registered accounts, etc. There is no cost and no obligation. If you are interested to attend in-person or via Zoom, let me know.

As things start to open up fully, some of my institutional clients are sending notices that we are expected to do X activity over zoom from here on out (things we used to do in person).
