如果你’re like many people, you may be nervous about job searching right now. The market feels completely unstable. 如果你 have a job, this doesn’觉得是时候冒险冒险了。尽管这是一个非常可靠的论点,但我鼓励您睁大眼睛。在大流行期间,有公司雇用和雇用新员工。
去年的这个时候,我写了一篇有关劳动节的专栏文章。它以这种方式开始。“Labor Day is a holiday that honors the American labor movement. It celebrates the development, productivity, 和 prosperity of the United States. And, it marks the unofficial end of summer. 如果你’re like most Americans, Labor Day is spent with loved ones 和 tasty food.”
In the meantime, begin to think about how you would like to celebrate this time next year. 如果你 would like to celebrate with a new job, this is the time to start looking. If the pandemic has made you realize you wish you were closer to loved ones, this is the time to make a plan.
如果你 want to move, look for jobs 在 your future city. Or, begin to look for jobs that allow remote work. Working from home is giving employees the flexibility they need to choose the lifestyle that works the best for them. 如果你’曾经希望搬回家,这可能是时候研究这个想法了。
我希望我们’在同一页面上。这是大流行病。它’不是竞争。一世’我不确定我多少次’最近有人问过“自三月份以来,您有哪些新爱好?” I haven’t. “你要多少钱?” Very little. “您如何度过所有这些空闲时间?” Like many of you, I’一直在工作,并通过这种意外和困难的经历进行管理。我的技能是一样的,除了我’现在是使用Instacart订购杂货的专家。
唐’t get me wrong. I’都是为了职业发展。一世’m为个人成长。一世’m努力变得更好,并攀登职业阶梯。但是,对于许多人来说,现在还不是时候。 2020年是回避和掩饰的时候。它’是时候尽我们所能来最好地照顾自己了。
唐’t get me wrong. 如果你’能够学习新技能,那就太好了!去吧。变得更好。学习编码。煮一些新颖有趣的东西。
但是,请注意,并非所有人都在您身边。而且,仅因为它们可能在光谱中处于另一个位置并不意味着它们’重新犯了大流行错误。他们很可能处在不同的生活状况中。它’s not because they’没有足够的努力或他们没有’小心。他们可能正在尝试弄清楚如何付款。他们可能会为自己的人身安全感到恐惧。或者,他们可能试图同时工作和教孩子。
