For those that are also unemployed and searching… what are you doing to keep yourself sharp? Call it paranoia, but I feel like I’m craving some sort of project or training so I can be ahead of the curve or simply stay relevant… Honestly, even if you’re employed, I’d appreciate another perspective 😊 (PS, in case no one has said it, you got this, hang in there folks 🫶🏼)
