This summer I initially had an internship with the Delaware Department of Social Services. Originally, I was supposed to be helping social workers and seeing what they do on a day to day basis, but since COVID, we had to go virtual. I transitioned to aiding the Delaware libraries with their job center and helping people develop resumes and find jobs. The pace is slow since not many people have been making job spot appointments due to many different reasons right now. But it has been interesting to go through resumes and think about what skills make employees desirable to employers. It is also interesting to see how people are going about finding jobs or changing their careers during a pandemic.
