What to Do If You Have Lost Your Job Because of Covid-19

Have a career game plan

There is no doubt that we are living in uncertain times. People in the service industry, especially,  have really been taking a hit. I'm getting emails every day from Personal Assistants, Executive PAs, Administrative Staff, Estate Mangers, and Chiefs of Staff saying that they lost their jobs because of the pandemic. 

The Entertainment sector has been hit very hard as well. In Los Angeles and New York City, for example, Executive Personal Assistants at the major talent agencies have lost their jobs by the hundreds. 

Here's what you should do if you've lost your job:

• Get a recommendation from your boss so that finding a new position will be easier. 
• Revamp your resume to make sure it has no errors and highlights your most recent experience.
• Contact local employment agencies that specifically handle the type of work you know. 
• Contact past employers and make sure your references still work there. If not, take action. 
• Start checking job boards to see who is hiring, and customize your resume based on the job description. 
• Start networking on LinkedIn​ to see if any​ of your connections are working at companies that are hiring. 
• Be sure to check our job boards and sign up for our newsletter to get the latest updates on job openings.
