Today, we are in a whole new situation with job searching — pandemic job searching within a pandemic workforce stagnation.
Sharon Hamersley joins us for this episode. Some of you may know Sharon as “The Resume Coach.”
She generously provides job searching information to Central Ohioans in many formats, including working with local nonprofits and the libraries with various workshops and training programs.
In this second part of a two-part series (here’s a link to part 1 if you missed it!), we target some ideas on Job Search Strategies.
Does it make sense to send out hundreds of resumes? Or is it more effective to target a job search?
You should also know the economic picture of industries that are actually growing. There are particular types of jobs or industries that seem to be more available in this market.
Networking Is Key
Networking is key to moving your resume to the right hiring managers. Are the networking steps different today because of the pandemic, besides the limitations on face-to-face meetings?
We were utilizing LinkedIn and Facebook and many other social media avenues in 2020. Now the social media have blown sky high with the pandemic. What should we be doing now to get noticed on social media with hiring managers?
What skills should a candidate show in their application/resume that demonstrates they are qualified for a job based outside of the “business office”? Our world has completely turned around and nearly everyone is working from home! The job market may be targeting clients they deem are able to effectively work from home.
