Bonus: Getting hired in a remote-work world
Odds are, you won’t be showing up to your interview to shake hands in person. Instead, you’ll likely be introducing yourself over Zoom from the comfort of your home office or living room.
The hiring and interview process won’t look all that familiar to job-seekers who found work the old-fashioned, in-person way. Here are a few pointers to keep in mind while you send applications and keep in touch with prospective employers:
- Strength in numbers: Don’t limit the number of applications you send. Spread your net wide and try to apply to as many jobs as possible. Even if just one says yes to an interview, all it takes is one successful interaction for you to land a job.
- Build a better resume: Automated software will scan your resume before any hiring manager sees it. To get past these bots, make sure your spelling and grammar are on point. In addition, focus on emphasizing what you bring to the table with your experience rather than what you aspire to do. Tap or click here for even more awesome resume hacks to help you land a job.
- Don’t forget you’re being watched: Make the most of your upcoming Zoom meetings by making your setup as presentable as possible. Check the background that appears behind you in calls, make sure your camera angle is flattering and dress like you would for an in-person interview. A little effort can go a long way. And don’t forget to look at the camera! Tap or click here to see even more steps to success on Zoom.
If you join a company during these unusual times, you’ll have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a lasting impression on your new employer. Your reputation as a hard worker that adapted to the work-from-home lifestyle will be something that you can take with you to any jobs you land in the future.
And from what we can see, this kind of experience might give you an advantage over other workers. If working from home becomes the norm, employers will want workers they know they can trust. Tap or click here to see what you need to work from home successfully.
And don’t forget to share this with friends and family members who are also looking for work. You might just end up helping them land their dream job.
