LINKEDIN IS IMMUNE TO CORONAVIRUSAre you feeling paranoid about what’s happening globally with regard to the Coronavirus? Is COVID-19 making you rethink that way that you work, whether to go to that global conference in Florida, continue with your job search activities, or even go out for dinner with your friends? And … have you been affected by the toilet paper frenzy that has gripped the nation and turned people into loo-roll hoarders? At LinkedIn to Jack & Jill, Jack (aka Jane Jackson) and Jill (aka Jillian Bullock) discuss how LinkedIn is Immune to Coronavirus because it is an online professional networking platform that connects all of us globally … virtually! Yes, we were due to have an intensive recording session in the beautiful Eagle Waves Studios for this episode, however, we decided, due to sniffles, to conduct our podcast conversation remotely this time. And it’s worked very well!LinkedIn enables both of us to continue with our work, with our networking activities, with our collaboration efforts, despite what’s happening around us, and we are so grateful to have this opportunity to inspire you to do the same.In this episode we also discuss the trending News and Views topics on LinkedIn. Today's top items are:1. Job Seeking during an Outbreak2. No Papering Over – Shame of Hysteria3. Coronavirus Official Updates4. Kikki-K Collapse (due to the bushfires and exacerbated by the COVID-19 outbreak) With over 100,000 cases of Coronavirus now reported in over 100 countries, the COVID-19 is a huge concern, but true to style, Jack & Jill have found the good, the bad and the downright funny side of things – from Jack stocking up on kitty litter, to Jill ridiculing her; from leveraging LinkedIn for business owners during this outbreak, to job seekers staying productive; from discussing how the conference industry will change due to the outbreak of Coronavirus, to the benefits of remote work and how to do it effectively. And ALWAYS, how LinkedIn is able to help us stay productive and working, through voice and video messaging, #LinkedInLive broadcasts, video and more.Jane (Jack) is a strong advocate of remote working and her post on LinkedIn with her Sky News interview about Remote Work has generated a great deal of interest: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/janejackson_remoteworking-coronavirus-technology-activity-6641051414086942720-LZyqJillian (Jill)’s post that questions the way we’ll work in the future (complete with cat photo) is a compelling one: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/jillianbullock_events-business-coronavirus-activity-6643322138692591616-GTkP COMPETITION TIME!
