Prepare for remote<br />
interviews<br />
Even after businesses have<br />
reopened, remote interviews<br />
will likely be the norm. Set<br />
up an interview spot in your<br />
home with good lighting, a<br />
neutral background, limited<br />
distractions, and a desirable<br />
camera angle. Practice being<br />
interviewed digitally. Master<br />
various meeting applications<br />
by downloading necessary<br />
software in advance so that<br />
technical difficulties will not<br />
derail the process. The interviewer<br />
sees only your background,<br />
so utilize a paper or<br />
whiteboard in front of you<br />
with notes or talking points.<br />
A job search may be complicated<br />
by the coronavirus,<br />
but there are steps to make<br />
it easier to find a job. With<br />
patience and positivity, the<br />
odds can be in job-seekers’<br />
favor.<br />

Update your résumé for job hunting during COVID-19<br />
The economy has struggled during<br />
the COVID-19 pandemic, and many<br />
people are concerned by what the future<br />
may bring, particularly regarding their<br />
careers. Some fields may continue to<br />
scale back while others may increase<br />
operations. There is much uncertainty<br />
for those looking for new work or considering<br />
changing jobs.<br />
Even though the coronavirus may<br />
slow down the process of hiring and<br />
make it even more competitive, job<br />
seekers must avoid the notion that<br />
they should throw in the towel and try<br />
to wait out the lull. Many people have<br />
found new jobs during the pandemic,<br />
and these strategies can help men and<br />
women do just that.<br />
Update your résumé<br />
Many people may think that résumé<br />
writing is a “one and done” process,<br />
but that’s not the case. The Balance:<br />
Careers says a résumé should be<br />
updated and tweaked each time a<br />
person applies for a position. Keep a<br />
generalized outline for your résumé,<br />
but be sure to modify your skills and<br />
accomplishments as they pertain<br />
to the specific job for which you’re<br />
applying.<br />
In many instances, a functional<br />
résumé format, which emphasizes<br />
skills over linear job experience, is a<br />
good choice because it can gloss over<br />
gaps in the résumé or frequent job<br />
changes. Remember to fill the résumé<br />
with the same verbiage used in the job<br />
posting. If scanning software is used<br />
to cull résumés for key words, yours<br />
will have the right words and phrases.<br />
Update social media<br />
If you use a<br />
social media<br />
application like<br />
LinkedIn, Plaxo<br />
or Jobster to network,<br />
be sure to<br />
keep your profile<br />
current. It<br />
also may be<br />
helpful to join industry networking<br />
groups and organizations at this<br />
time, as they may have an ongoing<br />
aggregator of job openings in particular<br />
fields.<br />
Research the industry<br />
While travel, hospitality and event<br />
planning have been hit hard due to<br />
COVID-19, other industries like<br />
online shopping, delivery, healthcare,<br />
grocery stores, cleaning services,<br />
and more, have experienced growth.<br />
Many industries also have revamped<br />
operations and may need a consultant<br />
or expert to help them change<br />
over their business formats. Do not<br />
assume that the pandemic has stalled<br />
all job prospects.<br />
