How to Get a Good Job After COVID.


When it comes to your career, what are you looking for? The perfect balance of work-life balance? A chance to give back to your community? If you’re pursuing a degree in COVID, then the answer is most likely both. Many COVID graduates have found that using their education to help others has given them a sense of purpose and joy. But while COVID grads are very skilled at helping others, they may not be prepared for the next step: finding a job. Here are some tips on how to get a good job after COVID.


The New World Order

of Work
In the last few decades, the world has been moving from a manufacturing to a service-based economy. In fact, as of 2014, only 13% of the U.S. workforce was employed in blue collar jobs. We’ve moved from an economy where your skillset dictates your career to one where you have to sell yourself and your skills determine your career trajectory. The new world order of work means that it’s not enough to just have a degree – you also need to be skilled at selling who you are and what you can do for someone else’s company. This is why COVID grads should focus on marketing themselves as much as they have been marketing their services in the past.


How to get a job after COVID

If you’ve just finished a degree in COVID, the time has come to find a job. You may be wondering how to get a good job after COVID. No worries, we have some tips for you. First, there are plenty of resources available to help you find a job after COVID. One resource is your school's alumni database or mentorship program. Schools often keep in touch with their alumni and can provide valuable insight as to where they work and what their experiences have been so far. Other resources include sites like LinkedIn and Monster, as well as connecting with other people from the COVID community on social media.


Secondly, one thing that many people don’t think about when it comes to finding a good job is networking. Networking is an important part of any successful career path and this holds true for those who have just graduated from COVID as well. Reach out to family members, friends and former classmates to see if they have connections for you or if they know anything about potential jobs in your industry or field of interest. It doesn’t hurt to ask!


Finally, make sure you know what type of position you want before heading out into the world of job hunting. This will make it easier for you when applying for jobs because you can tailor your resume accordingly and tailor cover letters too!


Types of Jobs

to Pursue
COVID graduates have lots of options. They can pursue a career as a social worker, teach at the college level, or work for an NGO. But whichever path you choose, there are some skills that will help you be more successful:


* Research and analyze data and information


* Communicate and interact with others


* Manage information and solve problems


* Make decisions and solve problems using critical thinking skills


With these skills, COVID grads will be able to pursue any type of job they want! After graduation, many COVID grads have found success in careers in the non-profit sector. For example, Bill Gates has donated almost $30 billion to charity in his lifetime. He started Microsoft Corporation in 1975, which became the world’s largest personal computer software company. With this huge donation, he's helped countless people around the world live better lives. The best part is that he never would have been able to do it without his COVID education!


Creating Your Résumé

If you’ve just received your COVID degree, the first thing you should do is create a résumé! You can make your résumé using Word. A résumé is used to highlight all of your skills and education in one place. For example, if you were listing your work experience on your résumé, you would list the company or organization where you worked, the job title, the date when you started and ended working for that company or organization, and what type of work you did while there.


When making your résumé, it’s important to be honest about everything. You never know who will see this document so it’s best to give an accurate representation of yourself. Don’t worry about being perfectly organized with this document. The most important thing is including all relevant information so potential employers will know what they are getting if they hire you!


Interviewing Skills

One of the most important skills in finding a job is being able to interview well. A lot of companies will have you do a phone interview before you're even hired, so it's essential that you prepare for this. You should know what to wear, how to behave, and what questions they'll ask. This will not only help you prepare for the interview but also make sure that you are confident on the day of the interview. It might seem like common sense, but you would be surprised at how many people don't prep for this step!


Conclusion

COVID is an awful thing. It steals from us our time, our money, our sanity, and our lives. But it also teaches us a few things.



One, that we can do anything if we put our minds to it. Two, that we have a lot of skills that we may not have realized we had, and three, that there are a lot of jobs out there waiting for us.



It may be difficult to find a job post-COVID. But as long as you know what you’re looking for and you’ve got the skills for it, it shouldn’t be too hard.
