Interviews and Zombies?
Lindell Haywahe, CRC & Social Media Development
The Coronavirus has seeped into our lives like the stain of tea spilled on a desk full of paperwork. Seems ominous. There are many articles and resources out there on the world wide web that could easily cause anxiety and wide-spread panic. In some cases, it has.
The focus of Regina Work Preparation during this time is to give our community, clients and partners every chance at maintaining a sense of normalcy through job searching, self-educating opportunities and help in developing a plan of action. Our website is advancing with opportunities to support our clientele and the community in general. It really is a great time to be so involved with all this splendour.
An important part of the job search is ultimately the interview, because it signifies a personal success for the applicant. It is the next level. Because there are many non-face to face protocols in place in our collective society, I thought it would be wise to share some resources for interviewing.
Here are some resources to check out:

Coronavirus & Zombie Ideas: How Policy Makers Respond to Crisis
Here is an actual interview, a conversation between Paul Krugman, a Nobel Laureate and author of Arguing with Zombies: Economics, Politics and the Fight for a Better Future and Vincent Catalano. I had sincerely hoped there were going to be zombies in this 44-minute-long interview but it was informative nonetheless. They discussed policy makers and the ideas they have to consider when enacting legislation during times of crisis.
NOTE: if you Google Search CoronaVirus and Zombies, you will open a whole plethora of zombie apocalypse type information that is very entertaining, if you like that sort of thing.
