Why Covid 19 Could Be the Right Time for You to Change Careers
A question on many people’s mind is whether covid 19 is a good time to change careers. Indeed, nothing has ‘reset’ life as dramatically as covid 19. And the greatest impact of this has been felt on work, jobs and how we work. With millions of professionals now working from home and housebound, it has been a challenging and stressful time. In the realm of jobs, many individuals have been hit hard with job losses, furloughs, salary cuts and tremendous uncertainty regarding the future.
As bleak as the above may sound, this is a time and opportunity which we have been given to think about what we want from our life and career in a way we may have never done before, or had the chance to do before. As career coaches, we believe that this is a time to hit the ‘refresh’ button on careers. Here are 5 reasons why covid 19 might be a good time for a career change.
Now is the time to spruce up your LinkedIn profile, get a professional headshot, write a well-articulated professional summary, be proactive in engaging with employers (liking, commenting on posts, messaging) and networking with professionals in your field.
