There are many things outside our control – we went from an unemployment rate of below 3% to a rate of 24% in a matter of months. So, even if you are not in an active job search, circumstances arise when we may be looking for new employment. Here are a few tips to remember and be ready for whatever career-related challenges may occur: Control. You can only control what you can control. You can’t control the economy, pandemics, or whether the company you are working in survives. These things are out of your control so it does no good to dwell on them. Invest. Start investing in yourself. Keep your skills sharp, take free webinars, courses, and training. If there is something you are weak in, strive to get better. Did you know that there are many opportunities for free classes – yes, free – you can take? Check out these websites to get you started: MOOCS (www. mooc.org), Edx Classes (www. GIANNELLI edx.org); and for those looking for technical training there are Microsoft training tutorials (www.support.officecom). Not sure what class to take? Start a search at www.classcentral.com. Network. Now’s the time to take networking seriously and be strategic. Don’t just join LinkedIn, use it as the great networking tool that it is. Tailor Everything. Customize your resume, job applications, and cover letter – remember one size doesn’t fit all. Each resume and cover letter should be tailored to the specific position, and make sure you use keywords from the job description in each. Don’t Burn Bridges. Never bad-mouth a previous employer or manager. You never know when you might need a reference or a networking connection. Look for the silver lining. I’m a big believer that you need to look for opportunities in the challenges. My mantra is “What opportunity could this be?” Confidence. Have confidence in yourself. If you don’t believe in yourself, who will? Basic Needs. You may have to take a less than perfect shortterm job. Remember Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, and take care of your basic needs first. LinkedIn. Update your LinkedIn profile. There are many articles written on how to make your LinkedIn profile stand out to recruiters. A quick Google search will lead you to insight from LinkedIn experts. Clean Up. Clean up your social media. The majority of recruiters report that they check out a person’s social media profile (i.e., LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter) before reaching out to a potential candidate. If there are things in your social media you would rather not have a recruiter see, delete it. Make sure your social media accounts are private and start deleting old potentially embarrassing posts. These are challenging times for us all but I believe if you start looking at ways to make the best of the situation, you’ll come out ahead in the “new normal.” Remember success is a journey, not a destination. —Elizabeth Hart is the Founder & Executive Director of Tailored for Success, Inc.
