Out of work? These companies are hiring right now When it comes to finding a job during the COVID-19 pandemic, work from home careers are the most highly sought after.

The same goes for when you watch videos on YouTube, put information into your Google profile or talk to Google Assistant by voice. But as scary as this might seem, there is a silver lining: You can actually delete almost everything you've shared with Google and get your privacy back. Here's how.

Desperately need an upgrade Q: I can't deal with working from home on my old laptop anymore. It freezes up on me any time I try to do more than one thing. Can you recommend a PC? A: We’ve used Dell computers and tech to run the Komando website for more than 15 years. Most of us use Dell Optiplex and Precision workstations. Choosing what's right for you can be challenging. Don't just guess — let the tech pros at Dell assist you. Dell’s Technology Advisors are available by phone. Yep, social distancing friendly. Call 877-ASK-DELL or visit Dell.com to find technology that can help your small business. |
Packages getting stolen Q: There's been a rash of package thefts in my neighborhood. I'm home all day, but it's easy for someone to slip onto the porch and make a quick getaway. What's the best way to keep an eye on things? A: I’ve researched all the options, and I trust SimpliSafe to keep an eye on me and my family — and all the packages we order! SimpliSafe monitors 24/7 and you'll get an alert right to your phone if someone approaches. It won't fail if the power goes down, the Wi-Fi is out or intruders smash your keypad. The best part is it's easy to install and use. It's the best out there, plain and simple. Go to SimpliSafeKim.com and get free shipping and a 60-day, money-back guarantee. |
Hiring is hard! Help Q: I need to add someone new to my team at work, and honestly I don't have the time to wade through a ton of resumes and I don't know where to start with hiring remotely. Any tips? A: You can throw the posting up on all kinds of free job boards, but you're right — that will mean a ton of work sorting through all the candidates who aren't right for the position. LinkedIn Jobs can help by matching your role with qualified candidates so that you can find the right person quickly. LinkedIn screens for hard and soft skills and you can use a ton of different tools to narrow down your search. You can pay what you want, and you can use my special link to get $50 off your first posting. |
