Vacancies

There have been many shifts in job vacancies. Some companies put in a vacancy   , other companies need a   more people . There are certainly still nice vacancies. Not all procedures are at a standstill, they are often designed differently. Keeping an eye on job boards will keep you 'apply fit'.

Energy

Applying takes energy, and we can imagine that your desire to apply can sometimes be hard to find.

Interviews still take place, but often remotely. If you suffered from camera fright, now is the time to get over it. Everyone is video calling, Skype, zooming and housepartying now, so why not you?
