We have a special announcement today, and I’ll lead into that with a quick story. Remember episode #124 when I talked about the implications of Coronavirus when it was just getting kicked off? In this episode, I talked about being proactive and essentially planning for different scenarios that could happen as a result. I used my own example in which I talked about whether or not my own business would see a decrease or a spike in demand.And I wanted more than anything to be able to provide for customers who needed the help and at an affordable cost. Well that changed today. Today, September 21st, 2020, we are launching our urgent care package to give you help quickly and at a low cost. The problem for many of us is that we need help making a transition. We don’t know what to do with our resume; we don’t know where to go next in our career. And when you try to see a resume service like mine, it’s either too expensive or unavailable. What does the package include? We are the best solution because we implement the actual stuff you hear on this podcast, and it’s one of the most affordable ways to do so with that extra boost. Head on over to our website, scroll to Urgent Care Package, it’s the top one.Follow usFollow Chris on LinkedInCheck Career Warrior Podcast on InstagramSubscribe to Let’s Eat, Grandma’s YouTube ChannelCheck us out at Let's eat, Grandma!
