I got covid 6 weeks ago. I am a 28 year old male and I’m physically fit. I had pretty mild symptoms overall that lasted 1 week. The worst part was probably the body aches and just feeling weak and tired.

28M.

Fever a couple of days, not much symptoms, wasn't bad at all. I'd do COVID again twice over a proper flu.

Same. 28 female. Healthy and fit. I got it and it felt like allergies - sniffling and a sinus headache. I’d take covid ANY day over the common flu.

Had it last summer. Slim 26M. High fever for 5 days, lost 10 lbs because food tasted like cardboard.

It was like a bad cold/light flu for me. Was able to work throughout (remotely of course). Weirdest part was loss of smell. I was 1/2 vaxxed at that time btw. After about a week I was back to normal and tested negative at 10 days. I was relieved as my dad was hospitalized for 3 months right before I got it. (Unrelated as he caught in a nursing home)

I wouldnt have known I had it, but the wife had a fever and got tested. 55yo.

I had it. I was down for 10 days. Super achy, couldn’t get out of bed. Had to take a daily nap for a month after, like my body would just shut down and say no more, gotta sleep.

Same. And I was vaccinated. No risk factors and slim. Was really surprised that my cough and tiredness lasted for weeks.

Had it last February along with spouse and children. It was a week of coughing and fatigue. Kept working (remotely, of course, as I already had been).

My brother, who is older than me, had it a few months ago, along with the rest of his family. He worked through it too (remotely, of course) but probably would have had a shorter course if he had stopped and slept. His main symptoms were loss of smell, body aches, and brain fog.

Had it for two weeks. Mostly fatigue, cough, low grade fever and body aches. Had a lot of sinus headaches and lost of appetite. Still retained my smell and taste.

I am better finally, and ready to get back to work, but I don’t know how to explain this or even approach this during interviews/resume writing.

Anyone have any helpful advice?

I’m totally empathetic to people that miss offices and traveling. I understand your reasons why, I truly do.

For me personally, after non-stop weekly travel for 4 straight years, not traveling has made me realize how much I enjoy being home. Spending time with family, sleeping in your own bed, consistent exercise schedule, etc.

I for one hope consulting becomes more of a hybrid travel model (i.e. travel 1-2x per month or as needed). Else it won’t be for me.

Anyways, just some thoughts.

1) there were obvious favorites (coaches are not even hiding that fact);
2) some can’t even play and got on the team,
3) some that can obviously play but did not get on the team;
4) decision were obviously made before the first day was over.
