Advancement Opportunities In The Midst Of A Pandemic

Career and professional development may have taken a back seat in the post-pandemic era to the various demands and exigencies that organizations face. That's understandable; with millions of layoffs and furloughs around the country, employers' top objectives continue to be staying in business and paying their employees.

With that said, rekindling the flames of your career growth is a key move to take in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis. With no end in sight—and given the recent success of working remotely, workplace connections are likely to be permanently altered—now is the time to hone your abilities and re-establish dialogues about accomplishments, areas for career advancement, educational opportunities, and the like.

Here are a few ways to boost your career in the midst of a pandemic:

Consult with Your Mentor

If you don't already have one, seek one out. A mentor can help you focus your career goals and build a plan for moving forward.

Update Your Curriculum Vitae

If you haven't updated your resume in a while, now is the time to do so. It's critical to maintain your CV since you never know when an opportunity will arise.

Your LinkedIn profile should be updated.

Visit your LinkedIn page and update any classes you've taken, additional talents you've learned, or projects you've performed, similar to how you maintain your résumé up to date.

Sign-up for Webinars

There are numerous low-cost or free webinars and conferences currently available on themes such as education, supply chain management, management, health care, technology, crisis management, revenue growth, and so on. Some of these webinars even include completion certificates or badges. Take advantage of this opportunity to broaden your horizons or gain more knowledge.

While these tips can help you enhance your profession, you must take the initial move. To make possibilities and opportunities a possibility, you must be willing to consider, ponder, and act.
