Maximize Your Career Potential in Time of COVID-19
“When you apply, you want to standout not only for the job you’re pursuing, but other jobs they may be hiring for that you didn’t specifically apply to.”
About 30 million workers are collecting jobless benefits. That's roughly 1 in 5 people looking for ways to standout and land a new job.
As the country starts opening back up for business, now’s the time to be focusing on tactics and strategies to MAXIMIZE YOUR CAREER POTENTIAL IN TIME OF COVID-19.
I recently chatted with Vicki Salemi, career expert for Monster, and author of Big Career in the Big City and The ABC's of College Life. She has a passion for empowering people in their careers—helping many build up and flex their business muscle. Vicki says in order to achieve the big gains, it’s important to shift your professional perspective.
Vicki has 15 years of experience in corporate recruiting and human resources. Her personal website says that she lives to empower job seekers with insight and first-hand knowledge from the halls of HR. She provides tips to help capture the eye of recruiters and HR executives.
If I’ve learned anything from Vicki, it’s that now’s the time to take small steps with big goals in mind. Sometimes an entry-level or part-time job leads to a much larger opportunity. Never forget that transferable skills can transform your career path.
Most importantly, be bold—build and engage with an online community of colleagues and people who want to see you succeed. Having a well thought out plan is the best way to maneuver the current business landscape and help you land your next job.
