Ruth's Truths:
​A Blog about Job Search

Take Your Career to the Next Level

Vaccinate your job search

4/3/2020

 
It seems pretty bleak: Hiring freezes. Furloughs. Layoffs. Isolation. 

What's going to happen to the economy??

Here's my take on things: Ultimately, business will have to resume. Here's what I'm seeing: Hiring is happening, even now. One of my clients got a great nonprofit leadership position. Another one is managing several warehouses. Conversations with recruiters are happening.  Employers are browsing.

Be ready. Do not stop your networking. In fact, it's a great time to do more, because so many people are working in isolation and are constantly in front of their computers. 

Here's a tip:
  • Make a list of the jobs you've identified and/or your target companies. 
  • Start looking at their websites, at LinkedIn, and at your own contact list to find out who is associated with that position. Who works in that division? Who has a lateral job? Who is the hiring manager?
  • Then reach out and make contact. Start conversations about what's going on right now. Be curious. What's happening in the industry right now? What problems are emerging? Consider what insights you can offer. Along the way, you're likely to find out what's going on with that job you saw, or hear about other opportunities. 

     This is just one of the tips I'm starting to offer, twice each week, free, via your inbox! Don't get left out.
