Tips on how to get work during lockdown


1. Don't forget the Basics

As with any job search, there are a few key areas to concentrate on first.

1. Resume 

2.Coverletter

You'll need a solid, current CV. Don't worry if you've had a recent hiatus owing to getting laid off. At the moment, recruiters must be especially flexible and understanding - they'll understand!

You'll need to make several variations once you've created a great CV. You'll need a customized CV depending on the position you're applying for. Having a CV that is completely suited to a certain employment role will help your application stand out right away.

The same goes for the cover letter. It's a good idea to have a template on hand that you can quickly and simply customize for a specific application. The more specific to the role you can be, the better. This does mean that looking for jobs takes more time, but keep in mind that applying for employment is similar to having full-time work in that case you must put in the hours.


2. Build your LinkedIn profile

There are two factors to consider here. if you don't have a Linkedin profile then get one and if you already have one then use it!

In 2021 social media is king and when it comes to job hunting it is no different. majority of employers use LinkedIn as a reference for recruiting potential candidates. having a Linkedin profile allows you to put up a professional image of yourself before you've even been interviewed.

Another important aspect of LinkedIn's usefulness is its jobs section. Many job postings on the site aren't usually available on other job sites.

3. Get in touch with recruitment agencies

Make the most of recruiters, whose work is to place people in jobs. If you're concentrating on a specific industry, find out which recruitment companies are the best in that field. Send over a CV and describe what kinds of roles you're looking for, even if there aren't any clear positions.


They will be able to provide expert advice on any roles they are currently looking for and insights into the industry and the wider jobs market.


4. Be open-minded


Demand has unavoidably fluctuated as a result of the current global scenario. Some industries have witnessed a big increase in hiring, while others have seen a significant decrease.

At the present, a degree of adaptability is essential. If the industry in which you want to work has been impacted, you might want to take a temporary position elsewhere or a more junior position for the time being.

If the industry in which you want to work has been impacted, you might want to take a temporary position elsewhere or a more junior position for the time being.

By keeping an open mind and accepting new challenges, you may gain experience in new areas and find strengths you didn't know you possessed.

Consider which criteria you're ready to compromise on and which are critical to your workplace well-being and career objectives. If you're using a recruiter, be sure they understand what you're looking for.


5. Get ready for a virtual interview

If you are selected for an interview, it will most likely be conducted remotely for the time being. This could be done through video call, if not a standard call, in the age of Google Meets and Zoom.

If you're being interviewed by video, make sure you practice with your equipment, set up your interview setting (keeping your background in mind), and dress appropriately.

6. If you get the job you may be onboarded remotely

Don't be put off by this. Working from home may not have been your first choice for starting a new job, but there are steps you can take to guarantee the best possible start.

Create a fantastic home office, log in early on your first day, make sure you understand your daily expectations, and use video calls to get to know your coworkers.
