I’ve been feeling really lonely this week and it’s starting to take a toll on me. I don’t want to fall into a deep depression. I just finished a time consuming project so I was pretty busy for most of COVID. Pre COVID I’d spend most of my free time with church activities, however that’s not possible nowadays. I feel all of my “friends” only want to hangout when they need me and I don’t have anyone to just hit up randomly to hangout. What is the best way to approach this? I hate feeling this way

The ministry continues even during this pandemic. The members of your church need you. Try to find ways to help those in your congregation that are also in need at this time.
I’ve done virtual activities with our youth group, made calls/video chat with the widows and elderly, and have even had the Sunday School teachers of my children drop off treats and activity books.
Take care of yourself! And in my opinion, one of the best ways to do that is to serve others in need.

Good suggestions!

Have you tried reaching out to one or two friends for a video chat? They might be open to it. Play a virtual game with them. Maybe start a new project? Maybe start learning the basics of a new language? Is there a part of your place that needs organizing, kitchen or closet? Do you workout? If not, start to! I hope these suggestions help!

Hi guys,

I submitted my resume in Accenture portal 3 months back and now I got shortlisted for interview.

My yoe is 3.6, but the interview is scheduled role "Application lead project". Is this normal?

Are there any chances they might reject me as the interview is for lead role while my YOE fall in senior analyst / analyst role.

Thanks,

Hot take, for those who received a stimulus based on FY19 or FY18 returns why doesn’t the government make people pay it back in the FY20 return if they don’t qualify based on the actual tax year stimulus was for? I understand why they couldn’t wait but IrS knows who received it so it isn’t hard to implement. Could have used the anticipated saving coming back to fund more stimulus for those who truly needed it.
