Class of 2020? Tips for Navigating Jobs Through
these Uncertain Times
2
  • Your lifetime decisions should not be solely
    dependent on the ongoing pandemic. Consider the
    job sector you can see yourself working in and do
    your best to get into that. Take your time and
    structure your job search.
  • Transitioning from student life to becoming a
    full-time employee can be overwhelming and mixed
    with a lot of emotions. That said, if you are a
    2020 graduate, the whole process can be even more
    challenging and stressful. With 225 million jobs
    being lost across the globe and several job
    sectors such as travel and hospitality facing a
    constant decline in profits, many new graduates
    might be making life-changing decisions looking
    at these and similar statistics. But dont worry,
    you are not the only one in this.
  • Your lifetime decisions should not be solely
    dependent on the ongoing pandemic. Consider the
    job sector you can see yourself working in and do
    your best to get into that. Take your time and
    structure your job search. Keep looking at the
    open positions in your preferred companies and
    keep applying for the relevant ones. Apart from
    that, here are some of the tips you must consider
    while making a move as a new graduate of 2020.

Acknowledge Temporary or Short-Term Jobs
  • Considering the present uncertainty of many job
    sectors, finding a permanent job can take a bit
    longer than usual. Many businesses are
    introducing temporary and short-term jobs to
    serve their business needs while reducing the
    total employee headcount. If you are a new
    graduate, this is the right time to tip your toe
    in the water and see how it goes. Temporary jobs
    will help you gain expertise, widen your skills,
    as well as help you manage your expenses. You
    might come across different interim or temporary
    jobs that might not be relevant per your
    education and skills, however, might help you
    learn about the work culture and ethics, allowing
    you to leverage them later in your future jobs.

Prepare Yourself for Remote Hiring
  • By now you must be aware of the new work
    conditions. Where work-from-home became a
    priority amid lockdown, many companies are ready
    to extend these policies to cut down on their
    infrastructure costs. Not only this, but
    work-from-home also provides employees with an
    improved work-life balance and an escape from the
    daily tiring commute.
  • The majority of businesses have extended their
    work-from-home policies and have accepted the
    benefits of remote working. Hiring managers are
    scheduling online interviews and by looking at
    the comfort of all, the trend seems to stay for
    good. Being a new graduate, you must prepare
    yourself for giving online interviews and getting
    familiar with work-from-home setups.

5
Leverage Online Networking Platforms
  • 2020 has shown us all the importance of
    technology and how online networking platforms
    can help in getting a new job. With limited
    physical interactions, recruiters have started
    making the most of online professional platforms
    such as LinkedIn. It is easier for them to
    attract eligible and qualified talent without
    having to go through the tiring process of
    physical interviews. They can escape from setting
    up the physical interview process and meeting
    hundreds of new faces only to shortlist the ideal
    one.

  • As a new graduate, you must give importance to
    your online professional profile. You must keep
    it updated with your newly acquired skills,
    internship status, nature of work you are looking
    for, and accomplishments, among others. Follow
    the companies you want to work for and connect to
    the people associated with those companies.
    Initiate meaningful conversations and eventually,
    once comfortable, ask for recommendations and
    available opportunities with them.

7
Brace Yourself for Slower-Than-Normal Hiring
  • You may want to prepare yourself for a
    slower-than-normal hiring period. With many
    companies being reluctant to hire new talent at
    the moment, you might witness a slower pace when
    it comes to hiring full-time employees. As a new
    graduate, you must understand that this is a
    temporary time period and you must indulge
    yourself in making the most of it by staying
    optimistic. While patiently looking for the right
    job, you can enroll yourself in a course or
    develop certain skills to accelerate your job
    search in the current competitive market.

Build a Resume for Todays Hiring
  • Times have changed and the competition is stiff.
    With an increase in the number of job seekers and
    a comparatively lesser number of permanent jobs,
    you need to ensure your resume stands out from
    the competition. A well-formatted resume that is
    ATS-friendly and customized per the targeted job
    can help you pass the recruiters screening
    tests. There are many affordable yet effective
    professional services that you can leverage to

The Bottom Line Is
  • Its true we are living in unprecedented times
    and it all can be very overwhelming, but do not
    let it demotivate you. Take this time to learn
    more about the companies you want to work for and
    try to fulfil all the requirements they have.
    Follow the above-mentioned tips and learn how you
    can navigate through jobs in 2021 as a 2020
