How are you feeling about rejoining the workforce after such a tumultuous year in politics?

This is an intriguing question. I mostly feel excitement as I’m ready to go back. Politics does play a role in my job search, though. I try to carefully vet companies and organizations I’m looking at applying to. Mostly, I look towards organizations that are making a positive impact in general as I would like to feel like I’m working on something useful and good each time I clock in. And this excites me as well. That doesn’t mean I’m looking at jobs that are political or have some cause, it just means I do look at ones that are gonna have a positive impact on those they serve. And I avoid organizations that may play into the awful things currently happening in politics, whether directly or indirectly.
