So what they want to see is effort.
matched
Yeah, which I don't think is any different than pre-COVID.
matched
It's just a matter of creativity can really come into play in this time.

And the ability to say, you know, an employer is going to sit there and say, I was working during this and our business may have dipped, but I was working.
matched
Why weren't you working?
matched
And I have children and I was raising them and educating them and I'm scared for them, but I was working.
matched
What were you doing?
matched
And it doesn't mean that we have less empathy.
matched
It just means we want you to have empathy.
matched
An employer wants a candidate to have empathy on the other side of saying, what were you doing to make good use of your time?
matched
Well, what it really ends up being is a game of supply and demand.
matched
And as long as the supply is really high and 14, 15, 16 percent of unemployment, 25, 30 million people who are unemployed, then it hurts you.
matched
If all of a sudden there's a vaccine and things go like that right away and unemployment dramatically drops and there truly is a V curve, then when it gets up to the top of the V, then you're probably okay.
matched
But if unemployment's hovering over 7%, 8%, which I think it will for a while, the harm is compared to others, you weren't doing anything.
matched
You didn't show any motivation.
matched
This is truly a challenge because there is the line in the sand of are you afraid to leave the house for health reasons or are you not wanting to leave the house because you don't want to work and you're taking the unemployment money?
matched
And I think if you're going to have convictions on the health, make sure in this day and age that you really are being careful with your social media.
matched
because if you are connected to people on Instagram or Facebook or what have you, and you're out posting pictures of yourselves with people, but saying you were scared to go get a job, you've got a real intersection of lies meeting reality, and that can cause some problems for you.
matched
But if you couldn't get a job, period, that is understandable.
matched
And that's why I brought up, did you get in shape?
