Summary
No matter how much you prepare for your job search, a fair amount of the process will be out of your control and highly dependent on timing.
Under normal circumstances, the month of April would provide job seekers with several advantages. It is neither crowded and competitive like January nor filled with the distractions that come in the second half of the year, such as summer vacations or holidays.
Network to figure out which jobs are real
The hardest thing to measure right now is how many jobs are actually available because many hiring managers are too distracted to focus on current openings or haven’t yet decided what they want to do with jobs that they opened before the full brunt of the crisis hit.
This will not feel like any of your previous job searches
If you are feeling trepidation about making a decision on a job without physical connection, you aren’t alone. Droves of new candidates are entering the job market at a time when social distancing has led to a hiring process that is conducted completely online.
