This post will be updated regularly (updated Apr. 16, 2021) with new COVID-19 job search resources including (but not limited to) jobs that are: hiring right now, urgently hiring, hiring for essential jobs, and remote work / work from home jobs, and other career related resources.
It’s important to note that there are literally millions of jobs available right now. Companies are currently hiring. There is hope for your job search!
You may find that flexibility, adaptability, and a willingness to step outside of your comfort zone are all attributes that will serve you well in this time, and in the future. You might even find that you need to make a temporary diversion from your planned career path, and that’s okay too.
Whatever your situation may be, I want you to know that you’re not alone, you’re doing a great job, and yes, you can eat as much ice cream as you want (no judgment).
