That's a source that older workers can tap. voice-verified
Additionally, there are nonprofits that can help. voice-verified

WSJ Your Money Briefing · How to Network While Working From Home · 2 Nov 2020 podcast
And what happened in this case is when you're out of the loop and you're sort of separated from everyone, you're isolated working from home, and we're in an environment where the economy is really uncertain, it's really important to stay connected because literally none of us knows what might happen to our industries or our jobs. voice-verified
Pre-pandemic, people were already virtually networking. voice-verified
But the difference now, post-COVID, is that it's become the primary way to network. voice-verified
Before, it was just supplemental or secondary to in-person networking. voice-verified
It's a useful tool to develop one's career in terms of one's career track. voice-verified
And what happened in this case is when you're out of the loop and you're sort of separated from everyone, you're isolated working from home, and we're in an environment where the economy is really uncertain, it's really important to stay connected because voice-verified
Literally, none of us knows what might happen to our industries or our jobs. voice-verified
And rather than waiting until something actually happens, it's just good to network and keep on people's radars during this really economically uncertain environment. voice-verified
One of the key things that several experts reinforced with me was being mindful, because we are all working from home. voice-verified
But that doesn't mean we're just sitting around waiting for calls. voice-verified
A lot of us are working, obviously, but also juggling home responsibilities. voice-verified
And so it's a really stressful time on a lot of people. voice-verified
And so it's always good when trying to set up times to, or if you want to set up a time with someone you're trying to connect with, to really make it as easy as possible for them. voice-verified
And you have to sort of take the lead on everything from, you know, obviously the outreach, but also you have to sort of, if you want to schedule something, you do the planning. voice-verified
