Apply now for your New Year job in Colorado!

What a crazy year.

There's not enough words in the English language to describe the unbelievable experiences we have all gone through and shared.

Of course the biggest tragedy is the more than 300,000 Americans who succumbed to Covid19. I remember early on in the pandemic, I heard an expert say that everyone will have known a friend, a neighbor, family member or a colleague that has suffered from Covid19.

And then there's the economic devastation. Here in Colorado we were enjoying some of the lowest unemployment rates in our history and within 2 months we were experiencing some of our highest rates of joblessness.

We'll look back on 2020 as a year of masks, zoom calls, online schooling, DoorDash, and hand sanitizer and quarantines.

And while we see a hopeful future defined by a vaccine, there are also so many questions about the economic recovery from Covid19. Is working from home here to stay? Will people be willing to gather in large crowds for concerts, restaurants, travelling, conventions, festivals, theater performances?

I'm a generally optimistic and hopeful person and I believe resilience will define 2021. This resilience will be seen in new innovation, creativity, opportunity and celebration. We will want to see our friends and families, go to our favorite places, seek new job and entrepreneurial opportunities.

For those who may have lost their jobs, as tough as it is right now, adopt a resilient attitude. You too will bounce back next year. Keep talking to friends and researching companies and continue to apply for jobs that look ideal for you. Keep hopeful knowing that the January hiring tsunami is just around the corner as companies begin to re-hire and add new positions in anticipation of a return to normalcy.

If you know of someone struggling in their job search, lend them a hand. Offer to read their resume, connect them with people in your network, give them some job search guidance based on your own experiences. It will be so appreciated just to know that you are willing to help.

Continued good luck in your job search!

FEATURED COMPANY
Forefront Education

Founded by David Woodward in 2009 while working as a math instructional coach, Forefront makes it easy to provide meaningful data about student learning for teachers and leaders. With David’s decades of experience in the classroom, our program was built to be a useful, intuitive program for teachers first. Teachers can drill down into student performance information to gain detailed portraits of student learning directly linked to classroom instruction. These detailed results are then aggregated for high-level snapshots across the district.

Over the past decade, Forefront Education has grown organically. This means that our primary stakeholders are our customers, rather than investors. The customer experience is central to our work, and we constantly seek input from our users to improve our assessment data solution.

When teachers are provided with meaningful data, they better understand students, instruction improves, and schools become more effective. Be part of our mission to amplify classroom assessment results and get meaningful data into the hands of educators.
