Post COVID Career Reality Check

Post COVID Career Reality Check

Are you an employee FIT for tomorrow or just "going to work"?

Don't delude yourself that just because you are doing a good job today that you will always be employed.  If you are not ready for the "sack" you expose yourself and your family to significant negative risks...don't be fooled in the post COVID world of work as it can happen to you tomorrow.

Hints on how to make yourself relevant and quickly employable anytime:

  • Keep abreast with your industry's trends and profitability
  • Know your employer's competitors and actively network with them
  • Always be open to new opportunities and never turn down a promotion
  • Continually be completing additional qualifications and relevant courses
  • Attend industry functions, conventions and events
  • Maintain a high profile social media strategy by interacting with peers and contributing to general comments and writing interesting articles
  • "Press the flesh" and network, network and network (if you are an introvert you MUST push yourself beyond your comfort zone)...there is no substitute for face to face networking
  • Keep a detailed log on all your career achievements, awards and personal recommendations
  • Ensure that your CV is ALWAYS up to date
  • Meet your CEO.  It is irrelevant the size of the company your work for, the CEO is a very important person for YOU.  Arrange an appointment to meet them and simply say that "as you are my CEO I would quickly like to connect with you"...I guarantee that you will never be overlooked again
  • Remember that your management is interested in people, performance and profit.  Create your own narrative on how you contribute to these needs...if you can't your time may be limited
  • Do ALL of the above and don't "cherry-pick"

Never assume that tomorrow will be like today.  Be restless, be energetic and above all be focused and proactive!
