If you’ve been experiencing the fear of a career crisis, due to COVID-19 layoffs or circumstantial job uncertainty, I have a positive message that I want to share with you. **⁠ THIS IS THE GREATEST OPPORTUNITY IN A GENERATION FOR ANYONE LOOKING TO STEP INTO LEADERSHIP. **⁠ Yes, it's scary, yes, being at home might give you the impression the world has stopped but, look around you at the leaders, in our healthcare field, in government. They are taking action, they keep moving forward even when it's uncomfortable. This is the same mentality you can apply to your own career too. So if you're asking, 'should I put my job search on hold due to all that’s going on in the world right now?' Answer: NO. If anything, now is the time to double your efforts. You are self-isolating or quarantined at home with extra time on your hands. Even if you are working remotely, you have an extra couple of hours that you don’t have to commute. USE those hours wisely. NOW is the time to… ➡️ Update your personal brand: create a targeted resume, craft an enticing cover letter, re-brand your LinkedIn page. ➡️ Craft a compelling and clear elevator pitch to tell people what you are looking for. ➡️ Kick your online NETWORKING into gear. Connect on LinkedIn to hiring managers, recruiters, and employees who work in your ideal companies. Build a RELATIONSHIP with them (virtually) by finding ways to serve & support during this trying time. ➡️ Get your interview prep going. Certain questions you will always need to be prepared to answer. Open up a Google document and start thinking through what those answers might be for you. ➡️ Learn how to negotiate fearlessly. There is a process to this & now is the time to learn it. Why am I so confident that this is a great opportunity for you? I should know. I was in a junior role during the last financial crisis in 2008 and learned how to read the opportunity of the times to navigate up the career ladder quickly. Life led me to a coach and I learned to ask for the help that got me clear on my next move. We all need proper support, especially women, especially right NOW. **⁠ I passionately believe that everyone should have the tools to give them the best chances of success in finding a rewarding career. If this resonates and you are ready to show up, I’m opening up 5 spots in a small beta group program that I am offering starting later this week. It will be one of the most affordable offerings I have done because I really want everyone to have these tools. Reach out to me directly or apply to work with me. I've also compiled this free resource below that will be helpful to anybody who is feeling overwhelmed right now. Please feel free to download and share.
