COVID-19: Stay Cool and Make it Work
The best investors in this market keep cool heads. Now, stay the cool-headed investor in your job hunt and future results! My in-laws in Wuhan show me daily how they stay cool in the time of COVID-19 and make it work.

Stick with your job search goals.
With the largest one-day stock market drop in history, with the malfunctioning of virus testing systems, my students are still doing the following:

What about you? Are you ready to re-commit to your career...
Hopeful for 2019: Poetry from Tru Vu
“Because eyes see the blue sky,
Eyes glisten sky blue.
Because eyes see the vast ocean,
Eyes extend as far as the sea.”
When you contemplate 2019 and your own professional development, or the talent you want for your team, what do your eyes see?
Do your eyes glisten sky blue?
If you look out onto 2019, you will see yourself.
Hiring managers calling you about the offer they just gave you...a great team coming together to tackle enterprise goals...see that in yourself. Because you see that, offers come, teams are built.
