Understand How Recruiting Has Changed During The Pandemic and Beyond
Recruiting during the pandemic has undergone a tremendous shift, and it's important to understand how it's changed.
With remote work becoming the norm, physical interviews have almost disappeared – at least for the first rounds of interviews - and virtual ones have taken their place.
You'll have to learn to make an impression from a computer screen instead of a handshake.
Hiring managers now have a wider pool of applicants to choose from, as location is no longer a factor.
This means you'll likely be competing with candidates from all over the world, not just those in your local area.
And, you need to up your game to stand out to become the candidate of choice.
Upskilling and reskilling have also become priorities as companies seek to match their employees' abilities with the changing demands of their businesses.
As you navigate this new terrain, you need to understand the ins and outs of virtual interviews, develop your digital skills, and master the art of standing out in a crowded field.

Develop Your Network of Contacts
Have you ever heard the saying "it's not what you know, it's who you know?" Or, I always say, "It is not what you know, but who you drink coffee with!"
While having knowledge and skills certainly play a significant role in success, having a strong network of contacts can open up so many doors in your career and personal life.
The great news is that it's never too late to start building your network.
Reach out to old colleagues, join networking groups, and attend events in your industry.
But don't just focus on what others can do for you.
Take the time to invest in your relationships by offering help, support, and resources whenever possible.
You never know where your next opportunity or connection will come from, so ensure you're nurturing your network carefully.
