Many experts are saying that we're in the midst of a Great Resignation as people are leaving their jobs in record numbers. And at the same time, some industries are seeing labor shortages, particularly in fast food, where some locations have gone viral after all their employees quit at once. 

So if you've made a big career move during the pandemic, we want to hear from you.

Maybe you were a nurse, but the stressful long hours and pandemic working conditions pushed you to your breaking point. So after a lot of soul searching and careful budgeting, you quit your job and are currently taking a few online courses so you can find work in a new industry.

Or perhaps you worked in an office before the pandemic and your commute added an extra hour or two to your workday. Since you've been working from home, you have so much more time for things that really matter to you, like spending time with loved ones or getting in a good workout. So when your company said that all employees had to return to the office, you decided to quit and find a job with more flexibility.

Or maybe you were a restaurant worker who was laid off early in the pandemic, but when the restaurant reopened you didn't feel that the job paid enough to make up for the risk of contracting the virus. So you took a few online classes to brush up on your skills and found a new job that you can do remotely, which makes you feel so much safer.
