This craziness has everyone locking down, but social distancing doesn’t mean social isolation. Now is a great time to prepare in case of layoffs. Use this time to build your career collateral and connect with those who can impact your success.

Here are some ideas to help out: .

PRACTICE YOUR INTERVIEWING SKILLS
Video and audio recording software platforms like Zoom, FaceTime, and Skype allow you to practice how you sound and look.

DO SOME DEEP DIVE RESEARCH
Sites like LinkedIn, Indeed, and Glassdoor are great for getting insight into companies, learning about opportunities, and gaining exposure into opportunities.

ORGANIZE YOUR JOB SEARCH TOOLS AND COLLATERAL

This is a great time to make sure your LinkedIn and resume are up to date, fresh in presentation, and optimized for keywords.

CONNECT WITH PEERS, EMPLOYERS AND COLLEAGUES
With everyone home, people are online this week more than ever and likely more open to connecting by phone. If not this week likely the next. Take this time to get ready.
