As a consultant, I’ve always appreciated the freedom that comes with working from home and during COVID-19 that’s only increased.

So while most of you who can telework are probably doing so over the next few weeks you may be thinking of the benefits of a partial or full-time telework career. So on Sunday, March 29th Congress Heights on the Rise will feature a mix of on-site and remote jobs. Even if you aren’t ready to make a career change right now, it probably won’t hurt to look.

In terms of job training programs, I’ve mentioned this before but I think it stands repeating. Last fall, I enrolled in FREE classes at the Community College Preparatory Academy (CC Prep) in Congress Heights. I secured my CompTIA IT Fundamentals+ Certification (8 weeks) during a daytime class and took a night-time CompTIA A+ course, taking and passing my certification exams in 8 weeks out of a 16-week class. Between blogging and consulting I’m self-studying for my Network+ exam now which I hope to take this month. After that, I begin self-studying for my Security+ exam. If you don’t know, the future (and six-figure paychecks) is in Cybersecurity. 

If this COVID-19 crisis has taught us anything it’s that life as we know it has changed. How ready are you for this change?

So be a pal and send this post to a friend (or two or three) so they can take advantage of these opportunities to get the bag! Better still, have them sign-up for the Congress Heights on the Rise Daily Digest. It's free and always full of news you can use!

Until tomorrow! 

P.S. I love it when I get emails from readers who tell me that they got a new job from a posting they saw on the blog, it really does make my day. If you get a new job or internship, please drop me a line.
