Interviewing is just one of many job search aspects that has been greatly impacted by the pandemic. Some of the changes made to interviewing techniques and styles may be here to stay, long after the pandemic is over – whenever that may be!
Embracing Change
I like to think that every opportunity, every situation in life, provides some kind of learning experience. Whether it be a situation you enjoyed, or a situation you did not, I think there is always something to be learned from any experience.
Ask Emily: Cover Letters
Q: Do I always need to send a cover letter with my resume? A: The short answer to this question is no. Some jobs simply require or ask for a resume, possibly accompanied by an online or paper application form.
