You may be concerned about the pandemic; you may have a high risk of health problems related to the pandemic given your background. And you may be searching for a job, what do you do?
One option may be remote jobs – if you have a computer and access to the Internet you may be able to explore working in your own home. Some resources that could help could be:
Job Sites
You may be able to find job positions on the Internet using a job site web page, you may be able to find remote jobs using job site web pages. Two types of job sites may be helpful
- Job sites that specialize in remote jobs – these are job sites where their focus is on remote jobs. Here are some resources that give information on remote job sites.“62 Best Remote Jobs Websites to Find a Great Remote Job (Fast) in 2021”

62 Best Remote Jobs Websites to Find a Great Remote Job (Fast) in 2021
Good resource – would recommend everyone to look at it“THE 25+ BEST SITES FOR FINDING REMOTE WORK ONLINE IN 2021”

“The 18 Best Remote Job Boards in 2020”
Could not find when article was published by Biron Clark
https://careersidekick.com/best-remote-job-boards/
I found these resources by doing a Google search like “places that list online remote job positions”
flexjobs.com
Flex jobs is a specific job site that focus on job positions that are remote. Flexjobs a useful resource site to find telework remote jobs. You do have to sign up for a subscription service to use the resource. I believe it is a good resource.
- General job sites –Job Web sites on general jobs; General job web sites focus on a wide collection of jobs. Jobs could be an electrician to a teacher. You can search for remote online jobs by doing a search that has two features:
(1) Search for jobs in your career field
(2) Search for remote online jobs
For some search engines, this can be typing in terminology that expresses you interest in remote online jobs. Some of the terminology could be
Telecommute
Teleworking
Telework
“Work at home” (search as a phrase often put quotes around it)
“Word from home” (search as a phrase often put quotes around it)
Virtual
Remote
Mobile
Anywhere
You may be able to put the word “remote” in the location square in a search in a general job site. General job sites like www.indeed.com and www.linkedin.com you have the option of typing in the word “remote” in the box location in the search job database.
You may find a remote online job for your particular profession
Federal government – federal job positions describe remote jobs as “telework”
You can use a website called Usajobs.gov to access job positions in the federal government.
You an access telework job positions by applying telework as a filter feature. A person will use a filter when a person obtains a large job choice list. A person may have a job choice list with many job positions that a person may not want. A person may find it helpful to reduce the job choice list to obtain a more focused job list. A person may find a job they are looking for from a focused job list. A filter can help reduce the job list and get a more focused job search.
To use the telework filter you need to first conduct a search.
You can type in a search in the keyword box and then (hopefully) you will get a job list.
You can then use the telework filter.
You can click “More filters” option on the right site of the screen.
You will then get a menu of options you can select “Offers telework”.
Your job list will then be reduced by the telework filter.
You can see the telework option in the job description by looking at the “Location” section in a job description. The Location section will have the phrase “Telework eligible: Yes as defined by agency policy”.
I will demonstrate how to obtain this telework filter in my podcast on the Live Your Life Learning channel on YouTube
Temporary Agencies
Temporary agencies may provide options in remote work; one of the areas can be a temporary agency called Roberthalf.com
Go to Roberthalf.com
Click “Job Seeker”
You can see jobs under “Remote” in the location section of a job search options
You can also see a list of remote jobs in the “Helping you find remote jobs” section and click the box of “See Remote Jobs”
You will get a list of jobs
Update your skills
You may be able to be a student; you may be able to go to a college and/or university to obtain new skills. You may then be able to take classes remotely in online classes.
I particularly like Community Colleges – they may be able to offer you courses that can be less cost than what can be found at 4 years colleges and universities
Totally remote or partially remote
You may not be able to tell from the job description if the job is completely remote where you do not go into an office. Or the job position may be partly remote where you will go into an office from time to time. You could apply for the job position; and then find out about the remote policies at the time of the interview.
Thank you for reading. May 2021 be the year we get back to normal. May everyone be safe.

For perhaps…. death, disease, and despair and other negative things.
The year will not be recorded in history as one of the best years of human civilization.
Goodbye this year, and hello next year.
John Oliver (HBO) a comedian, may symbolize how many people may think about the year.
In his final show of the season, he does something to 2020. You can watch it at the following
YouTube (www.youtube.com)
Season 7 Finale: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzlCOg-37hI
You can go to the end of the video to see what he does.
So, 2020 not been the best year around, if look for possible positive features of the year; some of the positive features of the year could be
- Expansion of the digital – the Internet was able to create many more digital connections with people; my guess is that many of these digital expansions will still be there; giving people additional choices in areas like
- Work
People may be able to gain work remote opportunities
- Education
Educational choices have expended in the digital world. People will have more expanded options of where they would like to obtain an education through the digital world
- Socialization
Socialization opportunities may increase with more digital connections. Social webs sites may offer meetings that are done online allowing people to attend worldwide regardless of distance
- Professional services
People may have increase access to more professional services that were not offered online; people may be able to access a particular coach for example who may not have been accessible before the pandemic.
- Advancement in science – there has been an increase in science; learning more about how diseases work and this knowledge may be helpful in going against other diseases in the future
- Appreciate what you have – you may have an opportunity to value what you do have
- Find joy in the usual – when we get back to usual in 2021 – you may be able to take joy from activities that were just routine and usual before the pandemic.
Some of these usual and routine activities could be
- going to shops
- going to restaurants
- going to sporting events
- going to concerned
The big live events with people will be able to occur again
Goodbye to 2020 and hello to 20201 – may it be a better year.

Often to be a lawyer in the United States, you have to go to law school and then pass the state bar exam. However, for those who may not care where they live in the United States a few states will allow people to become lawyers without going to law school. There are four states in particular they are – California, Virginia, Vermont and Washington. A lawyer apprenticeship is where you practice under an existing attorney who shares and teaches a person about the law. The apprenticeship will then allow you to take that state bar exam. Be aware that taking a bar exam successfully in one state mean you can only practice law in that particular state; you cannot practice law in another state.
California has the California’s Law Office Study Program that may help people become lawyers without going to law school for those who wish to be attorneys in California.
You may also want to supplement your learning experience with a lawyer apprenticeship be taking law classes (either paralegal or lawyer) to obtain knowledge from a classroom. Community colleges near you may provide legal classes at low-cost in your area.
Please do your own research to see if this area works for you; this information intended to make people aware of the program and people can then do follow up research to see if lawyer apprenticeships will work for them.
Please check with the law bar association of the state that you are interested in becoming a lawyer for more information; and then you can decide if a lawyer apprenticeship is an option that you would like to pursue.
Additional information can be found in the following places:

You may find it better to clear your phone messages when you no longer need them. Sometimes phone messages may have only a certain number of phone messages that can be on a phone system. A phone system may no longer take messages if the phone message has met their maximum capability to hold messages. You may miss out on opportunities if the phone system can no longer take messages. The opportunities may be employment, educational, or other opportunities.

A person may value learning something new; a person may be able to learn a new skill that can help a person in their careers; being a student; and/or helping to satisfy a curiosity.
One place I have found useful is called Skill share.
Skill share (https://www.skillshare.com/)
A person may also be able to gain skills by looking at YouTube.
YouTube a platform where people can post videos; many videos will be instructional in nature allowing people to learn information by watching the videos.
You can access YouTube by
YouTube (www.youtube.com)
You can use Skill share and YouTube to find videos to help you to create video content. Video content can be used to help teach people for example. Here a list of videos from YouTube and Skill share that you may find valuable to produce video content.
The list includes a
*Video – editor (looked at Davinci Resolve)
*Video-conferencing (looked at Zoom)
*Event management software (looked at Eventbrite)
The idea is you can create the videos in Davinci Resolve; and can use Zoom for live teaching sessions with people. Zoom appears to allow you to create recorded content by creating a meeting just for yourself. Eventbrite can be used to announce events that you may have to teach people.
This is geared towards teaching people in the future with recorded events and events where you meet people in real time.
Here a list of sites and software
Videos looked at to gain knowledge on a video editor, video conferencing tool, and an event manager tool.

Skill share a web site that has different classes. I used Skill share myself to learn about DaVinci Resolve (a video editing program) and Zoom (a video – conferencing program).
You can pay for a subscription to gain access to classes. The subscription rate for the entire year about $65 dollars.

Browsing the classes – you can go to the Skill share web site and see if the classes may work for you.
Free trail – Skill share may offer a free trail that can allow you to access the classes.
You may find Skill share a place to help you learn skills. I would recommend Skills share as a place for people to explore and see if Skill share a place that can work for people.
