Job Searching in a Pandemic is not an easy task to complete. Whether you suddenly found yourself unemployed or realize job security is not to be taken for granted and have spent time recently looking for employment, then you know the job search game has changed. Less than six months ago, the job market was an employee market meaning the average job-seeker would likely have multiple options. However, according to the latest report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (July 2020), there are now approximately 16 million unemployed individuals in the U.S. That’s a lot of competition. Even the most qualified job seekers are having to make concessions.
In this time of uncertainty, our professionals at Shultz Career Consulting are here to help you navigate the changing tides!
The NUMBER ONE thing to remember does not forgo professionalism! Even though our day-to-day lives may have become more casual, including the way we dress and interact with others, employers still need to see you putting your best self forward. The job market is going to continue to grow more and more competitive. Focusing on these factors are sure to give you the competitive edge!
Job hunting can be an intimidating process, but the professionals at Shultz Career Consulting are here to help.
