Missing your stimulus check (Economic Impact Payment)? If you are sure that you should be receiving one but haven't yet, consider the following.

1. You have yet to set up direct deposit with the IRS. A paper check will take much longer to reach you than a digital payment. If you have yet to set up direct deposit with the IRS, do so now: https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/get-my-payment.

2. You haven't filed your taxes for 2018 or 2019. If you did not file for either of these years but qualify for the check, you will need to complete a form located on the IRS website. Follow these directions: https://www.irs.gov/coro…/non-filers-enter-payment-info-here...

As residents continue to file for unemployment nationwide, more and more people are staying home. Useful Staffing, Inc. encourages all who are able to use this as an opportunity to review (or start working on!) their career goals.

COVID-19, or the coronavirus, was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) this past Wednesday 11 March 2020. By Friday 13 March 2020, the US declared a national emergency for the same reason.

Before the international and national declarations, local governments had declared their own state of emergencies due to the spread of coronavirus. With that, large gatherings have been postponed or cancelled, schools closed, and messages on washing hands and quarantining oneself as necessary emphasized.

But what about going to work? Workplaces are particularly good environments for spreading disease, as people remain in close proximity to eac...

Earlier in the year we posted the following quiz on social media:

Career Goal: everyone should have one, and it's never too late to get started. What's yours?

A. obtain employment
B. switch careers
C. get a raise
D. update resume
E. create professional online presence
F. other

Now, it’s time to check in. How are you progressing? Or have you already met your goal?

Keep in mind that some goals, like updating a resume, can take far less time to achieve than others, such as switching careers. Either way, make sure that you give yourself enough time to achieve your intended goal, and plan that time incrementally over the days or months you’ll need to achieve it...

We are almost 10 days into the New Year! Most people have set their New Year's resolutions and unfortunately have already broken them.....fitness goals, healthy eating goals, blah blah blah goals.

What are your 2017 CAREER GOALS? Let 2017 be the year that you seek after and obtain the career you've always wanted.

Cheers to all of the 2017 Career Goal crushers!!!

"Have fun" is the tip that I really appreciate.
