2020 is a year that most wish had never happened. It has been difficult for many people and industries. The Federal government stepped in with stimulus money and additional unemployment benefits.
A recent article resonated with me for the simple fact that there are 4 things you can’t leave off your resume after this year. It is a short article and makes great sense.
I worked remotely for the majority of my professional career which was rare at the time. Today, it’s very common. Companies are now learning that the brick and mortar buildings staffed with workers can be downsized because people can work from home. Yes, many people had to learn a new work environment so it is important to identify that skill on your resume in 2021.
Secondly, Covid affected people in different ways and people adapted. Communicating your flexibility and capability to work under fluid conditions is important. Companies need people who can respond to the new norm.

A midsize or smaller company may lack that recognition. It may be advantageous to include a hyperlink to the company or a short description so a hiring manager knows the type of work and industry experience you posses.
LinkedIn is the premier way for job seekers and talent acquisition recruiters to find one another. I am amazed any time people ask me if they need to have a LinkedIn profile. You only need one if you want to shorten your job search time.
