  • Georgia churches reopen amid coronavirus

    Will Georgia Churches Hold In-Person Services In 2020?

    2 Min Read

    The coronavirus pandemic has shut down small and large churches across the nation, including in Georgia, the heart of the Bible Belt. No state re-opening has been as controversial as Georgia’s.

    Georgia churches are still allowed to have religious services but they must adhere to strict public health guidelines issued by the Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) and enforced by local officials.

    Will Churches Be Allowed To Open In 2020?

    Those health guidelines make up a trinity of basic hygiene measures, including:

    • Social distancing
    • Wearing masks, face coverings, gloves and other PPE
    • Limiting gatherings of 10 or more people

    One of the dilemmas for Georgia pastors and other religious leaders is how to accommodate the elderly, who typically make up a large portion of the contributions flowing into a given church.

    Some preachers have thought about using a ticketing system to reward those ones with in-person services, but when those numbers get close to 10, things become much more dangerous.

    Here’s When Georgia Can Re-Open Bars and Clubs

    Still, others have stopped tuning into church altogether or accused the state of banning religious services, which is a constitutional issue.

    “In-person services were never banned,” Gov. Brian Kemp tweeted in response to criticism over church closings. “We have encouraged — and continue to encourage — online and remote services.”

    He added: “In-person services should always practice social distancing and work to implement sanitation procedures to keep congregations safe.”

    As far whether Georgia churches will be allowed to open this year, much depends on the virus. As Georgia’s numbers go up and down, state officials will likely keep gatherings tamped down.

    That means church leaders will have to get creative. Many are doing teleconferencing services and other video systems, which are likely to continue.

    Video Interview Guide: Everything You Need To Know To Get Hired

    5 Min Read

    If you have a video interview planned via Zoom or another videoconferencing system, you’re going to have to put your best foot forward to get the job. That means you’ll have to look the part and sound like it, too.

    Video interviews are intimidating to many job candidates because of their unfamiliarity, but the key to it is feeling comfortable.

    Video Interview: Everything You Need To Know

    This article is going to show you how to ace a video interview so that you can get hired. 

    In This Article:

    How To Do Well On A Video Interview

    The video interview is the newest way employers are fielding job candidates for their companies. The process is largely the same as an in-person interview only it’s done remotely.

    To nail the interview, you want to come across confident and assured in your abilities and skills. 

    Of course, if you’ve made it to the interview stage, your awesome resume has done its part. Now it’s up to you to seal the deal.

    What Videoconferencing Services Should You Use?

    Use Google Meet for a video interview

    If you your would-be employer hasn’t recommended which videoconferencing service to use, perhaps you might want to suggest one you’re most comfortable with. 

    Some of the best videoconferencing services for interview include:

    What Kind Of Questions Are Asked In A Video Interview?

    Here are some popular questions and answers you’ll need to know so that you can handle this part of the video interview.

    Question: Why do you want to work here?”

    Answer: “I want to work here to explore new challenges that are important in my career development.” Go on to explain some positives about the company/position and ask them to expand on them.

    Question: “Tell me a time when you were unsuccessful at work?”

    Answer: “There were a few times when the results I received from my work were less than I expected.” Go to expand on how you turned a challenge into an opportunity.

    Question: “Where do you see yourself in five years?”

    Answer: “I see myself with a track record of successes that will continue to help the company’s stature as well as their bottom line.” You can use this to pivot to some successes you note about the company.

    Question: “What skills would you bring to the job?”

    Answer: “I bring X-amount of years of experience in [given profession].” Again, use this opportunity to shine a light on your resume as well as some things that you want them to know about you.

    What To Wear In A Video Interview

    Contrary to popular belief, you do need to wear clothes below the waist in a video interview. The reason is because not only do you want to look professional, but you want to feel like it.

    Dress the part by having on a complete suit for your video interview. It will also help keep you in a professional mindset, which is crucial.

    Video Interview Tips

    The key to a successful video interview is to make sure you’re comfortable. Here are five tips to make the most of it:

    1. Set up your video in a secluded and quiet place in your home
    2. Make sure you have adequate lighting, but not too much light
    3. Check your internet connection for lags or interruptions
    4. Make sure your webcam shows clear and not grainy
    5. Dress professional and yes, wear pants
    6. Make sure the camera is centered on your face
    7. Ensure no distracting objects are in the background

    Bottom Line

    A video interview is one of the most convenient ways to get a job these days. Not only does it save you time and gas money, but it lets the employer process your position a lot quicker.

    Because of the speedy process, you’ll be able to know if you got the job or not, in a short period of time. If you’ve followed the steps in our Video Interview Guide, let us know if you landed the job!


    Metro Atlanta’s hot economy has slowed of late due to the COVID-19, but that’s OK. Check out our Coronavirus Resource Guide and find out how to make and save money.
     
    We currently have job articles that show you high-paying jobs, those close to downtown and even side hustles you might like.
     
    If you’re looking to get hired in Atlanta right now, there’s a very real possibility that you can land your dream job.

  • Atlanta Mayor: 'Have I Missed Something About COVID-19?'

    Atlanta Mayor: ‘Have I Missed Something About COVID-19?’

    3 Min Read

    Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms is astonished at the number of people who are no longer practicing social distancing and other safety guidelines amid the coronavirus pandemic.

    “I was so taken aback this weekend when I saw so many people out,” she told MSNBC this weekend. “I thought that maybe something had changed, that maybe this still not a highly contagious virus that thousands of people were dying from each day.”

    Atlanta Mayor Aghast At Number Of People Out Amid COVID-19 Pandemic

    Indeed, one week after Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp “re-opened” the state, masses of people could be seen congregating in parks, outside busy streets and even in some restaurants.

    All of which flies in the face of the guidelines issued by the Atlanta-based Centers of Disease Control & Prevention, which clearly has advised that people take the virus seriously by doing the following:

    • Wearing a mask or face covering in close contact with others
    • Standing at least 6 feet from one another
    • Washing your hands more frequently and not touching common surfaces

    “The reality in Georgia is that … many people heard what they wanted to hear, but my message is consistent: I am still encouraging people to stay home,”Lance Bottoms says.

    Nowhere was her message more relevant than at Lenox Square mall, which opened its doors for the first time in more than a month on May 4.

    Throngs of people were seen on social media waiting to enter the mall, which is one of many that has re-opened.

    Lance Bottoms says the facts are that this is still a highly contagious virus, especially among African-Americans, who are dying disproportionately to others.

    “When we look at other countries and see how they’ve gotten to the other side of this, it’s very simple: They’ve stayed in to flatten the curve. And we’re nowhere near there in Georgia.”

    On CNN, Lance Bottoms says she is going to stand her ground despite what’s happening around Atlanta.

    “What it really feels like to me is that there is this testing of the waters and willingness to sacrifice people for the economy. And I’m not willing to sacrifice my children or my mother, all of whom are asthmatic,” she says.

    “I saw so many people over the weekend who had no consideration of putting themselves and others at risk,” she says.

    CNN says one study found that more than 80% of those hospitalized in Georgia were African-American.

    Responding to that, Lance Bottoms says, “We are continuing to provide resources to people .. but so much of it really is about education, education, education.”

  • Atlanta-Filmed Greenleaf Teases Final Season

    Atlanta-Filmed Greenleaf Teases Final Season

    2 Min Read

    The OWN TV series Greenleaf indicates that it will wrap its final season in a tantalizing teaser video the network posted on Sunday, May 3.

    Greenleaf, which stars Merle Dandridge. Lynn Whitfield as Lady Mae Greenleaf. and Keith David as Bishop James Greenleaf, is set to debut its fourth and final season in June 2020.

    Greenleaf Series Officially Ending

    Filmed in Atlanta, the series delved into the trials and tribulations of a religious family at the helm of a megachurch.

    It was gotten three nominations from the NAACP Image Awards, including Outstanding Drama Series, Outstanding Writing in a Dramatic TV Series and Whitfield was tapped for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series.

    It looks like the coming season will be a good one. That’s because the matriarch seems to finally turn his united family into the humble servants they pretend to be for much of their screentime.

    It remains to be seen whether Oprah Winfrey will return as Mavis McCready.

    Here is the teaser video from OWN:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkLnQBw-Y-0

    Atlanta has become a movie mecca in recent years and Georgia has been a favorite location for TV productions since the state instituted generous tax breaks for film companies that agree to shoot locally. Projects from CBS, NBC, HBO, BET and more are slated to shoot in the metro area in 2018-19 and the foreseeable future.

    With more than 800 movie and TV projects just in the last few years, the film industry has generated more than $9 billion for the state of Georgia.
    There are so many movies filmed in Atlanta these days that it’s hard to keep up with it all. That’s why I suggest you subscribe to AtlantaFi.com to get all the freshest movie casting calls, celeb sightings and Atlanta happenings delivered to your inbox.

  • Georgia Governor Set To Re-Open Businesses, Churches

    Georgia Lockdown Lifted: Kemp Extends Public Health State Of Emergency

    3 Min Read

    Georgia Gov. Brian’s statewide shelter-in-place order is set to expire at midnight on Thursday, May 31 as local businesses continued to re-open.

    Meanwhile, he has extended Georgia’s public health state of emergency through June 12, 2020. He is also ordering the elderly and medically fragile to shelter in place for now while the broader population is free from such measures.

    When Will Georgia Bars Re-Open?

    “I encourage all Georgians to continue to maintain social distancing, limit their travel, and use best practices,” he tweeted. “Gatherings of more than 10 people will not be allowed unless it is possible to maintain 6 feet of distance.”

    Kemp has been defiant in the face of critics who have said that Georgia is risking the lives of its residents by trying to resume normal life amid the coronavirus pandemic.

    Kemp posted on Twitter recently that Georgia was ready to ramp up COVID-19 testing as it re-opens.

    “We have numerous testing sites, physicians, & tests. We just need more Georgians to participate,” he said. “If you are symptomatic or work on the frontlines, download the Augusta University ExpressCare app or call 706-721-1852 to schedule a free test. RT to spread the word!”

    Meanwhile, a recent virus spread simulation from a Harvard/MIT team shows a vicious plateau for Georgia. The team used data from the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center. 

    MIT data shows Georgia COVID-19 deaths in 2020

     

    Explore the Harvard/MIT Georgia data HERE.

    Also, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms has been a vocal critic against Kemp’s plan to re-open Georgia, which is at odds with the data she is seeing.

    Penning an opinion piece in The Atlantic, Lance Bottoms said, “The political reality is that we are a blue city in a red state, trying to balance public-health concerns in a diverse environment while getting our economy back on track as soon as possible.”

    She added: “I am reminded that we cannot let racism divide our country and pit communities against each other. Last week I was attacked in ugly racial terms on my personal phone, with my children nearby, for speaking out on the side of science for the safety of our residents and businesses. Cowardice like this does not deter me. As the poet Audre Lorde said, “I am deliberate and afraid of nothing.” Remaining silent during this crisis will not protect us.”

    They had to make do in Lawrenceville’s Rhodes Park when a celebrity happened upon them. R&B singer Tony Terry saw the couple and asked to sing for them, which they eagerly accepted.

    “I asked if I could sing for their first dance and they danced while I sang to them. We were walking in Rhodes Jordan park today socially distancing ourselves of course and we see a couple getting married It was just the two of them and the officiant I asked if I could sing for their first dance and they danced while I sang to them,” he posted alongside the video.

    “And I was there watching them get married and afterwards I thought I should go sing for them. That’s the first thing that came to mind, yes that’s the first thing that came to my mind,” the singer told Fox 5 Atlanta.
