Good morning! I have a nephew who’s interested in coding (video games, apps, etc.) and I wanted to know if there’s any virtual programs, bootcamps, courses he can do (maybe some that can give him college credits).

During the pandemic we started incorporating SparkHire for one way video interviews and now my hiring managers are super attached to it. It was intended to cut down on rounds of interviews - one SparkHire + 1 in person meeting. But now I'm seeing a lot of candidates drop off and not follow through on the spark hire. Is there any argument to hold onto one way video interviews anymore or should I drop it?

Downloaded the “Days” app. No frills, no extras. Just a number staring you in the face. I’ve made it almost habitual to open and check... even multiple times a day when I know the day counter hasn’t changed, but it’s helping and encouraging. Each day is a sense of accomplishment and a win over the pull of my own thoughts. Forcing my willpower into further restraint. 10 days strong so far.

PSA/rant: If you are sick, please stay home and do not go into the office!! Surprised that this even has to be said. Please do not try to be a martyr/hero by coming in - no one’s job is important enough to come in and get everyone sick (esp before Labor Day weekend!). And it’s so selfish to come in and risk getting everyone sick because you want face time with the boss.
