+Today, as in-person interviewing has had to cease or slow due to restrictions during the Covid-19 pandemic, thousands of professionals are now needing to learn how to effectively interview in a new way using online platforms, such as Zoom, GoToMeeting and others.
+Here are 10 helpful tips for making the best impression you can in your video interview, and demonstrating that you’re a great fit for the role.
+
+#### Be conscious of what’s in the view
+
+While so many of us are now working remotely and using Zoom or other platforms for our meetings, we’ve grown more accustomed to seeing people in their home settings, and noticing their home décor, pets, family members, and other aspects of their personal life in the background.
+
+For an interview, it’s fine to be in your home or living room but try to present whatever people see as neutral and professional as possible. You want to let yourself and your words, conversation and experience speak most powerfully about your qualifications and suitability for the job.  And you want to avoid the chance that your interviewer will be distracted by what’s behind you, or perhaps have a negative reaction to any personal items (such as a plate of food behind you or a messy room) in your home.
+
+#### Select professional attire
+
+Even though you’re conducting the interview from your home, remember you are being judged and assessed for your fit for the role, so dress professionally, just as you would if you were meeting in person.
+
+#### Ready your sound and video equipment
+
+Make sure that you have working Wi-Fi, a strong connection, and a quality headset or microphone so there are no tech issues during your call. Invest in quality equipment for audio and video work.
+
+#### Demonstrate positive body language and behavior
+
+Just as in an in-person interview, you want to demonstrate through your voice and body language that you’re interested, engaged, and professional in demeanor and language. Make sure you are not distracted (with your pet, or by loud sounds or interruptions in your home, etc.). If you know there will be significant interruptions or distractions during the scheduled time for the interview, see if you can change it to a time when those interruptions are at minimum.
+
+#### Engage the interviewer with eye contact and connection
+
+Make sure you smile, come across as engaging and interested, and make strong eye contact. Try not to look away during your interview or look down at your notes too frequently. Your eye contact reveals a good deal about how you’re feeling and thinking about what the interviewer is sharing with you.
+
+#### As with every interview, prepare, prepare, prepare
+
+Be fully prepared for your interview. Do your research in advance, understand clearly from what the hiring manager has shared in advance what they’re looking for in the role and be ready to talk about why you’re potentially very well suited to it. Have in front of you some written sound bites and bullet points that speak to how you can leverage your great talents and abilities and hit the ground running successfully in this job.
+
+#### Finally, remember that you’re talented, experienced and have so much value to offer and that the interview is a two-way street
+
+Don’t lose sight of the fact that you have a great deal to offer and so much experience and talent to leverage to be of service in important ways. Make sure too that you understand this is a two-way street and you are interviewing the hiring manager about the role and the organization just as much as they are interviewing you. Have your list of questions that you want to make sure you cover so that you will get a strong sense of this role, the work, and if you would truly be a fit, both emotionally and functionally.

+
+An ATS (Applicant Tracking System) is software used by companies to help them quickly evaluate potential candidates for any given job opening.
+
+ATS software automatically scans and processes each job application a company receives, and ranks them according to their relevant qualifications. It then produces a shortlist of qualified candidates to be reviewed by a hiring manager. If your resume doesn’t meet the requirements of a company’s ATS, your application will likely be rejected before a hiring manager even gets to look at it.
+
+Applicant tracking systems (ATS) eliminate over 70% of applicants before their resume even reaches a hiring manager. Make sure your application makes the cut by learning how to write an ATS-friendly resume with our expert tips, examples, and ATS resume templates.
+
+#### What is an ATS-compliant Resume?
+
+An ATS-compliant resume is a resume designed specifically to make it easier for ATS software to find the information it’s looking for.
+
+For example, this could mean using an easy-to-read resume format, or removing objects such as tables or images because they’re difficult for the ATS to parse. Resumes designed to be compliant with ATS software have a much higher chance of getting into the hands of a human hiring manager, which is one step closer to an interview.
+
+#### How to design an ATS-friendly Resume
+
+Here are six tips to help you make a more ATS-friendly resume and ultimately beat the applicant tracking system.
+
+#### 1. Follow a standard resume format
+
+Use a chronological resume to ensure the software can parse your experience section.
+
+#### 2. Correctly label your section
+
+By sticking to common headings, you prevent the bot from placing your qualifications under the wrong categories, or misreading your sections altogether.
+
+#### 3. Include job-related keywords
+
+To help determine whether your qualifications are relevant to the position, ATS software scans your resume for specific job-related resume keywords. To increase your chance of getting into the interview pool, look through the job listing for these words to include on your resume.
+
+#### 4. Use an ATS-friendly resume template
+
+Many job seekers use fancy resume templates to help them stand out from other candidates. However, templates with graphic elements, tables, or unique fonts are difficult for most ATS software to read.
+
+#### 5. Use a common resume font
+
+Most ATS software is programmed to read more common typefaces. Using an unusual or outdated looking font can result in your resume being rendered incorrectly, with large chunks of your information left unreadable.
+
+#### 6. Save your resume as the proper file type
+
+PDFs  are the preferred file format for most companies today, and are easily understood by any modern applicant tracking system.

+
+Follow these 16 pro tips to help your design resume stand out from the crowd.
+
+With designers fighting it out for every job that comes along, it's important that you stand out from the crowd. Whether you're just starting out or a seasoned pro applying for a better position, your design resume needs to be first rate for you to stand a chance of getting an interview.
+
+For your design resume to really shine, you need to think carefully about how it's designed as well as what's written. Here, we'll cover both, as we walk you through the process of creating a stellar designer resume. You'll be landing that dream design job in no time.
+
+#### 1. Avoid word processors
+
+Microsoft Word might be okay if you’re applying for an admin position, but if you’re after a design job or something creative, its limited and idiosyncratic layout options just won't cut it. Art directors will be paying close attention to the layout of your resume as much as the content, so use InDesign CC or even Illustrator CC to design something special.
+
+Whatever program you use to design your resume in, PDF is the best format to supply it in. This enables you to create good-looking documents that are completely cross-platform.
+
+#### 2. Choose your fonts wisely
+
+You’re a designer, so your resume should follow the latest trends in typography, right? Wrong! The aim of any resume should be legibility, so it’s generally a wise idea to stick to simple, readable fonts. You don't need to shell out lots of cash to find something suitable either – take a look at our list of the best free fonts for designers.
+
+And if you would like to use more than one font, you can also check our perfect font pairings.
+
+#### 3. Consider using colour
+
+For most non-design-related jobs, a resume designed or printed in colour is probably a waste of time. However, for design positions, touches of colour are an acceptable way to add a discreet personal touch. Use colour carefully, however, and don't go over the top. Green type on a yellow page will stand out for all the wrong reasons. See our post on colour theory for more info on this.
+
+#### 4. Be brief
+
+Art directors do not have the time or the inclination to read your entire life story. Your resume should ideally fit onto one side of A4, and if it's any longer than two pages, you’re waffling and including too much stuff.
+
+Don’t be tempted to mask a lack of experience with verbosity. Clean, well-laid-out resumes will always win over flabby ones – remember, the aim is to intrigue and impress. Point the recipient in the direction of an online portfolio to see more.
+
+#### 5. Include your contact info
+
+As a minimum, your resume should include your name and contact details, including your email address, phone number and online portfolio URL. Don't assume that because these are at the bottom of the email you sent, you don't need to include them. Make life easier for your potential employer.
+
+This should be followed by a breakdown of your work experience, then your education. In both cases, this should be most recent first. Work experience should include dates, job title and a brief synopsis of your role. Don't bother including jobs you did years ago that are irrelevant to the job you're applying for. References are generally optional.
+
+#### 6. Don't lie on your resume
+
+We once received a resume from an unnamed individual who claimed to have created quite a stunning website. We would have been extremely impressed were it not for the fact that we had actually designed the site.
+
+Needless to say, that resume went straight in the bin and the sender was rewarded with a strongly worded email. Honesty is always the best policy, as you stand a good chance of being found out if you start 'elaborating' in your resume.
+
+#### 6. Include samples of work
+
+By not including any samples of your work with your resume, you’re pretty much guaranteeing that the recipient will not consider you for the post. If you work with motion, stills are perfect, unless you’ve been specifically asked to include a showreel. On the other hand, don't go overboard with images – that's a job for your online graphic design portfolio, which you can provide a link to. Alternatively, you can provide a curated version of your portfolio in PDF format.
+
+#### 7. Keep it simple
+
+Unless you’re really confident and sure about what you’re doing, keep the typographic flourishes and fanciful designs at bay, ensure the layout is simple and clear and the information is cleanly presented. After all, the last thing you want is the recipient squinting because you thought dark grey text on a black background was a great idea.
+
+#### 8. Show your personality
+
+Simple does not have to mean dull. A resume is a reflection of your disposition and persona, and the recipient will be scanning it, consciously or not, for elements that distinguish your resume from the other hundreds they have to wade through. Make your resume stand out with an idiosyncratic design and personal touches... just don't overdo it.
+
+#### 9. Beware the novelty approach to resumes
+
+We’ve had resumes written on scrunched up paper; arriving in the form of a jigsaw; and playing cards. We’ve had giant resume posters, inflatable resumes and resumes crafted using delicate and complex paper engineering.
+
+Off-the-wall resumes stick in the mind (you can see some of the best examples in our roundup of creative resumes) but they're a risky proposition. On the one hand you might appear like a creative thinker, on the other it might seem pretentious and excessive. It depends on the recipient.
+
+#### 10. Don't plagiarise
+
+We've all seen this clever resume concept... so don't try to pass it off as your idea
+
+A surprising number of graduates see an inspiring resume design concept and copy it. What can they be thinking? We all have access to the same internet, and if a particularly inventive resume design has caught your eye, there's a strong chance it's been shared virally within the industry and will have caught the eye of your potential employer, too. Your resume should showcase your creativity, not someone else's.
+
+#### 11. Use proper prints, not photocopies
+
+Photocopies are cheap, but sadly they also look cheap, especially second and third generation copies. Type starts to break up, images are contrasty and full of noise, fingerprints and other blemishes begin to show up, and the results can look slightly askew. Fresh laser prints or sharp inkjet prints on the best quality paper available are the minimum standard. For more info, check out our designer's guide to printing.
+
+#### 12. Demonstrate consistency
+
+Real-world design projects are usually centred around a single, consistent theme or concept that runs throughout the logo, branding, literature and so on. Your résumé, portfolio and covering letter need to demonstrate the same consistency. For example, are bulleted lists presented in the same style across each of your pages? Is the colour scheme consistent?
+
+#### 13. Spend time on the covering letter
+
+Most of the time, when you apply for a job, your resume will need to be accompanied by a covering letter. This should look formal and business-like: this isn't the place to showcase your creativity and imagination. The text should complement the CV and it's best to keep it short and to the point (three paragraphs is a good rule of thumb).
+
+Make it obvious you haven't just copied and pasted the same letter you've used to apply for a hundred other jobs. Write it in a way that's personal to the particular job and company you're applying for.
+
+#### 14. Create multiple resumes
+
+If you're applying for multiple jobs, you should create multiple resumes, each targeting a specific role and the kind of experience and skills the prospective employers are looking for. To take an obvious example, if the job specifically mentions InDesign as a requirement then you should make this first on your list of skills, and possibly expand the description of how and where you've used it.
+
+#### 15. Check your spelling!
+
+If you're getting this one wrong, you're in trouble
+If you're applying for a job as a designer, does it matter how well you write? The simple answer is yes. Spelling and grammar mistakes will make you appear uneducated, ignorant and/or lazy – and none of these represent the image you're trying to convey. So, always double-check your grammar and spelling, and get others to check it too (it's easy to miss your own mistakes)

+title: "Jobs During COVID-19"
+---
+
+As companies move to remote work to fight the coronavirus pandemic and an increasing number of workers are being laid off or furloughed, you might be wondering if you should continue to send out resumes or just assume that no one is hiring for the foreseeable future. It’s true that economists are predicting a recession, but career experts say it’s best to keep networking and applying, provided you change your approach a bit to acknowledge these are uncertain times.
+
+Be prepared for job openings to be put on hold or disappear, even if they’ve been open for a while. That doesn’t mean they won’t open up again in a few months. Landers admits she herself was getting ready to hire someone but decided to put that on hold for a few weeks.
+
+With all that said, you can still be actively working on your job search. These tips will help you navigate the process during the pandemic and the accompanying economic slowdown.
+
+#### 1. Consider How Urgent You Are Searching
+
+While many industries have and will continue to be hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic, others are still hiring. If you’re unemployed and need a stopgap, consider looking there or wherever else you can find an opportunity that makes sense for you—and pays the rent and puts food on the table—in the meantime.
+
+#### 2. Get Comfortable Networking Online
+
+Events will be cancelled for a while, so you’ll need to find a new networking strategy. Seek out like-minded professionals online and ask about virtual events.
+Look for professional groups to join on Facebook and LinkedIn. Both platforms offer a wide range of options with groups for every profession. For instance, if you’re looking for a job in marketing, you could join LinkedIn’s Global Marketing and Communications Professionals group. Join in the conversation, post and comment, and make yourself visible.
+
+#### 3. Stay In Touch
+
+Maybe you recently had a promising interview and a job offer seemed to be on the horizon, but now the company has moved to remote work and you haven’t heard from the hiring manager. What should you do? Check in with the hiring manager by email, acknowledging that they might be scrambling to help their employees get used to the new setup.
+
+#### 4. Gather Intel
+
+The COVID-19 crisis can provide a unique glimpse into company culture. Take note of how leadership deals with this emergency and treats its employees by following the company on social media and watching for any media coverage.
+You can mention what you read and listened to and use your specific knowledge to drive home how you could help the company achieve its goals if hired.
+
+#### 5. Use the Time to Reflect
+
+Job seekers often jump at the first available opportunity or go into their search without fully considering what they want to do next. Take advantage of the slowing job market by getting clarity about where you want to work and the type of role and title you're seeking.
+
+#### 6. Boost Your Skills
+
+Now is the perfect time to work on bolstering your qualifications, Moser says. Analyze job descriptions by listing each required skill and experience. Then consider whether you have that exact skill, if you have the skill but haven’t used it in a few years, or if you’re lacking the skill entirely. Use that information to determine what you need to brush up on to make yourself an even better candidate when the job market picks up again.
