With the pandemic, the job market nosedived and then gradually rose again over the last year. It again nosedived with the economic downturn, but it’s now back with a bang!
Especially now that many people who lost their jobs during the pandemic have re-entered the job market with the latest certifications & upskilling. In many cases, people who quit entrepreneurship are getting back into the workforce. The recent start-up lay-offs have more than contributed to the talent flood in the job market.
Companies have an overflowing supply of qualified talent to choose from now more than ever.
Here are a few things you can do to distinguish & position yourself from the crowd to catch the potential employer’s eye:
🌀Polish your presentation – Error-free and well-positioned communication and documents are important. What may seem like a small error could turn a company away during this time of high competition.
🌀Impress during interviews – Show off your personality, enthusiasm, and potential. Don’t go overboard with your eagerness and consider your nonverbal responses.
🌀Luster your LinkedIn profile – Always keep an eye on your online self as recruiters will google you in the virtual world. LinkedIn will likely be one of the first Google results, so start there.
🌀Leverage your Network – One way to network without even leaving your home is virtual networking. Find online forums, free digital meetups and even virtual job fairs.
🌀Freelance, voluntary or Internships – Upskill in your work with these and get your foot in.
🌀Patience – Chances are, it’s going to take longer than normal to get hired, so set your expectations accordingly and do what you can to not burn yourself out while searching for a job.
🌀Learn – Help boost your resume to the top of the pile with the latest certifications and skills.
🌀Adapt – Inventory your skills and take some time to assess them and think about other options.
The job search could be a little tricky if you are not aware of your skills and your target role. A self-analysis could help.
