Good morning!
There is no doubt that federal employees and contractors are going through the glove now. Large areas of government workers have been launched, renovated, or left for forgetfulness. Many contractors in the organizations also found great dependence on federal funds themselves suddenly unemployed. In the midst of this uncertainty, some workers, such as Wayan Vota, began building online communities to provide support to others like them.
Shortly after President Donald Trump signed Executive order In January, he stopped external aid, VOTA lost his job in a non -profit institution based in the capital, focusing on human development and often funded by federal scholarships. He was sad but he knew that thousands of others were facing a similar situation.
I woke up and said: “Well, I will not sit here and be a chaos crying. “I will wake up and do something about it,” I told Foota, my colleague, Sarah Brown.
A week after losing his job, VOTA began an alternative to unemployed workers affected by federal discounts called “”The job axis“With the aim of helping them find new roles. Shortly after a month, he has more than 9,000 subscribers. While Fota imagined that the majority of his readers will be in the foreign development sector, its base has grown to include workers from other agencies affected by recent discounts.
He said: “A large part of the job axis helps people translate their skills into terms that the private sector understands.”
Site users who luck Talk to say that although they received practical help in things like using artificial intelligence to improve their CV, a major feature is to find a sense of chance during a difficult period.
“What I found is that it was a community,” said Joel Levisk luck. This was really a painful thing that happened to people who are already working in this sector. I don’t think anyone expected this. In order to be able to engage in a society where people are like me, and the same thing, it made me feel that I was not crazy. “
