When COVID-19 struck, businesses and employees had to make abrupt changes. A number of employees converted to working from home indefinitely and many businesses switched to interviewing and onboarding employees virtually.

Got the job of your dreams, but for some reason it doesn’t feel right?

Searching for a job can be challenging and stressful, especially if you’re applying to lots of jobs, but you aren’t getting any interviews. It can make you feel discouraged and unmotivated, which could lead to even more problems like not eating or sleeping well.

References can add a lot of value to a person during the hiring process, which is why it has a lot of impact and can even make or break a job opportunity.

“What’s wrong with my resume?” A common question asked by many job seekers.

Have you ever passed up on applying for a job because you didn’t think you were qualified enough? Experience is an important factor recruiters consider when they are looking for candidates for their clients, but it isn’t the only defining quality when interviewing them. Many characteristics like politeness, enthusiasm, and organization are also important and, in some cases, even more so than experience.

Posting your resume online, whether it be on LinkedIn or a job board, can be extremely beneficial in your job search. Not only can you use the functions in these online platforms to search for jobs in your specific industry, posting on these platforms can also help you get more noticed by recruiters.

More and more people are using social media platforms like LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram to search for job openings, instead of traditional platforms like Indeed and Workopolis.

The rules for the kinds of questions employers ask during an interview are somewhat being re-written with social distancing measures in place amid COVID-19. Questions like describing your role at your last job or how you would deal with a problem are being tweaked to help your employer decipher if you fit working in non-traditional environments.
