Living through the past several months of the pandemic has changed so much about how and where we work—including whether we still have a job at all. If you’re fortunate enough to still be employed, this period may have caused you to reflect on your current position or entire career, and whether it really is the best use of your time and talent. That doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s time (or advisable) to give your notice and attempt to find something new right now.

But, it is a good opportunity to learn new skills or brush up on the ones that might be a little rusty.
