Now is the Time! Move Your Career Forward Amid Coronavirus…

During this time, it is understandable to feel stressed, overwhelmed, and isolated. However, that does not mean your career needs to suffer. This could very well be the perfect moment to reevaluate your profession and consider a new direction. Instead of being glued to the television, channeling that nervous energy into formulating a career strategy could be highly productive!

Your Resume

How long has it been since you dusted off your résumé or updated your LinkedIn profile? Now is the time to reflect on your professional achievements. Instead of listing your duties and responsibilities relating to each position, quantify your accomplishments. Employers want to see workers who can achieve results. Consider hiring a career coach or resume writer to support you and help you move your career forward! Resources like these can help you avoid some of the biggest job search mistakes.

The Job Search

Although many companies are freezing new positions and laying off workers, others are hiring like crazy! Check out Amazon… they are bringing on 100,000 workers to meet the surge in demand as more people turn to online shopping. Check out online learning companies, grocery stores, and remote meeting and communication companies like Zoom and Slack. In addition, delivery food services like Postmates, Grubhub, Uber Eats, and DoorDash are also seeing higher demand for their services. While it may seem that the world is at a standstill, now is not the time to press the pause button on your job search. Stand out from the crowd by putting yourself out there now!

Prepare to Interview Remotely

Many companies are now turning to virtual interview methods like video conference calls. Be prepared… make sure you have a strong, reliable internet connection. Test your software and camera prior to the interview. Dress like you would for an in-person interview. Practice looking into the lens and making eye contact. Remove all distractions (including the kids and the pets) and ensure that the interviewer will not be hearing your doorbell ring. Remember, if you prepare well before the big day, you will make a favorable first impression!
​
Now is not the time to take a break from your career. By focusing on how to move your career forward, you will be better positioned to take advantage of opportunities when the situation inevitably bounces back!

​1.   Never upload “JUST ANY RESUME” to a Federal job posting. Federal Resumes have a specific format.


2.   Always read the announcement carefully. Match the KSAs listed in the announcement to your resume.


3.   Ensure that your accomplishments give proof of your past achievements which are relevant to the job posting.


4.   Always include start and end dates, as well as hours per week, for work history.


5.  Make sure that your resume is the proper length. A five-page resume is your best bet!


6.   Don’t wait until the last minute to apply. Deadlines are usually tight due to the high volume of applicants.


7.   Aim for ten years of work history. HR specialist want to see what is most recent and relevant.


8.   Always be sure to upload your resume along with all of the documents required. Otherwise, you will be found ineligible for the position.
