Here’s some general advice for people seeking new jobs. Be an awesome communicator.
Learn how to exchange your ideas. Both written (now that we’re so tied in to the digital world) as well as to actual humans. I see it time and time again when I work with hiring managers – those that can speak effectively to people at all levels are the ones they want to hire.
It does not matter if you’re an executive talking to their team, a highly technical person that has to explain their tech or code to a non-techy person, or if you’re an entry level person trying to get a foot in the door. It’s one of the single biggest differentiators out there.
You have also needed to write effective emails and messages, but now you’re going to set yourself apart by creating better presentations and excelling in our new Zoom/Video world.
There’s a lot of places where you can learn this, so I’ll skip on those details. But just know that when you’re in a very competitive landscape (like, you know, now) your ability to create and mold your talking points, influence others, adapt to situations, and advance your, are directly tied to your skills in this area.
