Teachers in Transition - Episode 57 - How to Prepare for a New Job After the Pandemic Has Passed
b'
As the weeks drag on, even though the curve may be flattening, the economic hardship that people have been feeling will continue into the coming weeks and months. Let's be honest. Some jobs are going to disappear for good. And depending on what happens with Congress and its sense of responsibility--or lack thereof--for states and localities, even more jobs may be on the chopping block. The states and localities, after all, are bearing the brunt of the shutdowns and all the social isolation. Restaurants that are closed can't pay business taxes to the state or the locality. The same goes for salons and spas and other personal service industries.
If localities have to constrict, they will be forced to lay off teachers and firefighters and police officers and other local government workers.
I remember only too well what happened in 2008-2009 when we went through a similar economic constriction.
So, what will you do if your job disappears? Are you ready? Do you know what you want to do and are you prepared to make the case for why you would be a strong candidate if you needed to apply for a new job tomorrow?
In this episode, Career Transition and Job Search Coach, Kitty Boitnott, offers suggestions on how to prepare just in case you don't want to go back to your old job or your old job isn't available when this is over.
