  1. This is not the first company to do something like this. For example, the website https://www.gotresumebuilder.com/ provides premium features for those who have lost their jobs now to help them get a new one.

    I’m glad companies are using this kind of technology. It will help you find the job you want. It can also help https://resumeedge.com/blog/how-to-list-volunteer-work-on-resume to write a resume. And if you have any additional skills, here you can find tips on how to better indicate your best sides.

  3. It’s a good idea, but it’s even better to somehow increase the budgets for covid-19 tests so that companies like https://personichealthcare.com/ can take them for free even without insurance. Then I think it will be possible to get rid of this disease faster

  4. “SODAMO” is very useful for the citizens. However, if you are not Japanese, then it will not work for you. Here is a nice article https://resumeperk.com/blog/top-hashtags-to-find-your-next-job for those who are seeking a job in any city in the world.
