The 2020 pandemic made job hunting even harder.

Many companies were delaying their hires, laying off.

There were more candidates on the market & fewer opportunities.

I was recently chatting on the podcast with a brilliant marketer with 10 years of experience.

She told me about her 9-months job hunt during that period.

It was brutal. 😕

She also shared some great advice on the topic.

I have compiled some of her advice here 👇

1/ 😶‍🌫️ Manage your mindset

Keep in mind that it will take time, and longer than usual.

The pandemic is brutal, and the more time you’re out of a job, the more guilt builds up.

Know that there is no stigma in looking for a job.

Keep a positive mindset.

2/ 🌈 Manage your day

Keep a steady routine.

Wake up at the same time and don’t job hunt all day.

You should focus on max 6 productive tasks a day.
