I. Getting a job in COVID-19 pandemic - Focusing on one major field
II. Getting a job in COVID-19 pandemic - Right Place at Right Timing
III. Getting a job in COVID-19 pandemic - Focusing on improving yourself

One of my acquaintance succeeded to get a job in this tough time.
She is a very socialized person not to fear sharing her own experience and knowledge. So she shared all her job hunting progress by Tweet.

She quit her job around a half year ago.
Why? Just wanted to take a long rest and have fun in the last several months.
She is that sort of person.

As a result, she succeeded to get a good job that her salary increased and could choose the position that she had wanted.
This is her own analysis why she could be successful in getting a new job.

  1. She had focused and concentrated on just one her major field
  2. What she had focused was “Right place at the right timing”
  3. She was not in a hurry while focusing on improving her own capability
  4. Career network - Help other around you sincerely
    So with all these points, she experienced to get a job and having higher level.

Career Network

There is an another point that we may be easily overlook the importance of it or do not acknowledge from which we get much support. That is “Career Network”.
She has made her own reliable and robust human network working for 7 years in her major field.
That robust network comes from not only what she was devoted to focus on her major field but also what she had took care of her neighbors and friends with passionate effort and socialized personality.

She had over 10 friends who could spend their times for her when she asked for interview practice.

Sometimes she asked her friend who worked in finance sector to share knowledge about the industry, asked another friends to share their past interview experience and could know the atmosphere of the companies that she would have interview from the ones who worked there.
When she was in negotiation with the company, one of her friend who worked in salary negotiation helped her suggesting negotiation frame and the ideas about how to make successful negotiation.

Yes. She is very socialized person so helped her friends or acquaintances without hesitation when they were laid off or in bad situation.
She was with her friends for negotiation preparation, interview practice. Many colleagues of her former workplace had good impression from her.

She thinks that all this result of finding good job mostly comes from a combination of her capability and rigid career network.
Still she appreciate all her friends and colleagues, and want to share more for all.

I am deeply impressed by your energy, courage and the mind to care about others. I learned from you a lot.
