Trying this again - am so sorry - let's try to press on together

Details

Dear members, I am sincerely sorry for being absent at the two last meetings. I myself have not been organized, being in my own tough season of looking for work. I hope on 7/9/24 you introduced yourselves to each other and gave some mutual encouragement and tips. I will try again for an intro meeting next Tuesday, same time, 6-6:30PM PST. Meanwhile, I'll give some tips as I did in the group chat: use your LinkedIn network to find connections you can message about jobs you find at their company, send them your resume, and try to get internal referrals. Up your skills during this down time. How can you make yourself more marketable and competitive? Be kind to yourself. Even if you try to treat this as a 9-5 job (finding a job), give yourself breaks, take a short walk, treat yourself to a boba tea, watch a funny video or favorite song, text a friend or family member. Be positive. It is easy to be negative. And have a short-term and long-term vision -- where do you want to be next, to make ends meet, be ok, etc., and where do you want to be long term, to build your career trajectory? Ok, that's it for now. But, hope to see you next week, Lord willing (if I am with it)! Surround yourself with grace, positivity, hope, and good support like family, friends, and kind people you have met in your life.
