We’re all struggling now, trying to adapt to the new “abnormal”. Job search before the pandemic was complicated enough. Job search in COVID-19 means even more challenges.
And, whether you’re job hunting for the first time in many years, or job hunting once again within just the past year or so, you may need help getting on the right track.
I’ve compiled a number of resources here that I hope will help. They’re all free and don’t require sign-up (at least they didn’t when I posted them here). I’ll update and add to this list regularly.
