Hi Brooke! I understand where you're coming from. Companies are definitely still hiring. Some industries are actually growing during the pandemic due to demand and how things are shifting. While it's true that there's a lot of competition for jobs right now, jobs are being filled. Here are three things to keep in mind: 1. Be open to expanding your search beyond roles you might normally apply to (those you are qualified for) 2. Enlist help if necessary to ensure you are presenting as a top candidate 3. Remember that employers need your talent and experience just as much as you need a paycheck. Don't go after just any job because you're afraid you can't get what you want :) Peace.
