Find a Job in Merlin

If you want to find a job in Merlin right now, you'll face a unique and challenging job market. Local employers are still hiring during the Covid-19 pandemic. But in many industries, the types and numbers of jobs available have changed. On top of that, you have to contend with the difficulties of searching for work in a world where social distancing and virtual interactions are the new normal.

At Express Employment Professionals Grants Pass, we continue to work closely with employers and job seekers in the Merlin area. If you're looking for work during Covid-19, we can help you find a job through a local placement. We can also offer tips on how to make your job search more effective, like the ones below.

Tips to Find a Job During Covid-19

1. Get Ready for Virtual Interviews. Today, most interviews are being conducted over video. That can be more challenging than you might think. In fact, many otherwise strong candidates run into easy-to-make mistakes during video interviews. Here are a few ways you can prepare ahead of time:

• Practice your interview on video with someone you trust
• Dress professionally, the same as you would for a typical interview
• Test your lighting and sound ahead of time
• Choose a clean, uncluttered, and professional background
• Look directly into the camera when you need to make eye contact

2. Re-Evaluate Your Soft Skills. Having trouble finding work in your field of choice? Some fields have been hit harder during the pandemic than others, and that can make it hard to find certain types of jobs. If you can't find a position in your typical field, it may be time to re-evaluate your skillset. In particular, take a look at your soft skills and ask: What other types of jobs would my strengths allow me to do?

3. Be Flexible & Avoid the Resume Gap. One option we recommend during the Covid-19 pandemic is looking for short-term positions in addition to long-term work. Right now, a lot of employers are turning to short-term workers because of the uncertainty around Covid-19. Applying to short-term jobs could help you find work sooner. More importantly, it can help you keep gaps out of your resume.
