Job Search Success During a Pandemic - Book 2, #2 - E-book - ePub

If you are reading this book, you have probably had your career affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. These secrets will help you find a job at any time. But when anything occurs that results in lots of job losses and not a lot of jobs in the career field that you have experience or qualifications in, then finding a job becomes much harder. These secrets will help you find a job when times are tough. They help you understand how you can go the extra mile in terms of your job search.
By doing more than your competitors do to find a job, you can put yourself in the best possible position, with the greatest opportunities to find and get a job ahead of them. Why might you need to go 'the extra mile' in your job search because of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic? There are lots of reasons, but for employers in many career fields, they all come down to one thing, uncertainty! Many factors are occurring that are affecting almost all businesses.
These effects create uncertainty about the future for employers. When they are uncertain about the future of their business, they are less likely to take on new staff. In most industries, there are far fewer job opportunities than in the past. When you apply for a job, there is likely far more competition. If you sit at home waiting for a new job to magically appear, you will be out of work for a long time. You need to adapt to what is happening in the job market NOW! But it is not all doom and gloom.
Some industries have job vacancies because they are going through a growth stage, because there is a shortage of skilled employees, or because the jobs have been filled in the past by temporary migrants from overseas who cannot currently travel here. This book will provide you with key secrets on how you can put yourself ahead of the competition in your job search. In most industries, there are far fewer job opportunities than in the past.
