 2018 I left an amazing position in San Francisco and went back to my hometown of Fairfield where I found a Career Coaching position-which is my bread and butter. I worked FULL-TIME and got my first check for $864 for 40+ hours (I will NEVER forget this number), I was shocked. My rent was $900 alone and I was short.

According to a recent workforce analysis by McKinsey & Company, unemployment rates for women peaked in April 2020 at 15.8% (2 percentage points higher than men) and in September when schools reopened, 80% of the 1.1 million people leaving the workforce were women. These trends only continued to get worse, when in December preliminary numbers indicated that women accounted for 100% of the 140,000 reported job losses. (Official federal labor statistics released later listed job losses for women from November to December at 248,000 and 58,000 jobs lost for men.)

“Write out what you are nervous about on a piece of paper then crumble it up and throw it out. The idea is to throw the nerves out with the paper,” says Jessica Williams, CEO of JMW Career Consulting. In addition, “Write three to five career affirmations for the outcome of the event on a sticky note.” 

If working from home, put the sticky note on your desk or computer. The goal is to eliminate your fears and focus on the positives.
