Focus on controllable things
Одно о рынке труда после COVID-19 можно сказать точно - он станет гораздо более конкурентным. Если раньше, например, было 100 открытых вакансий на определенную роль, то теперь количество этих вакансий может быть 50 или даже 10. А это значит, что как никогда раньше важно оказаться лучшим при отборе.
Вы не можете контролировать экономическую ситуацию в целом, банкротства компаний или масштабы текущего найма, но вы можете контролировать то, как вы ведете и позиционируете себя в текущем кризисе. Вы можете направить все свои усилия на то, чтобы стать лучшим при отборе - это находится в зоне вашего контроля. Вы не можете контролировать таймлайны найма во всех компаниях, но вы можете активно начать отправлять отклики в те компании, которые нанимают. При такой стратегии вы точно получите лучший результат, чем при стратегии “ждать у моря погоды”.

When you look at those who survive and even thrive in a crisis, it’s those who know to devote 90%+ of their energy to the things they control, and little to none on the rest.
Having been through several economic crises, multiple business failures, and having trained as a volunteer emergency medical responder for mass-casualty incidents, here’s what I’ve learned.
When a crisis starts, the most common mistake people make is that they freeze in disbelief that something bad is happening. The “bad” thing isn’t supposed to happen.
People freeze until they adjust to the sometimes brutal reality of the situation. This freezing results in precious time lost.
The second mistake people make is expending far too much energy trying to control the part of a situation that’s fundamentally not controllable. This is an inefficient and unproductive use of energy.
If you’re the CEO of a company, you can’t change the fact that certain types of customers have stopped buying.
You can control looking to see which customer segments continue to buy for some unknown reason. You can control figuring out that unknown reason and seeing if you can capitalize on it. You can control looking to see who’s spending money, on what, and why. You can control looking to see if you can get into that flow of expenditures...
The key to surviving and even thriving is to focus on:
1. Accepting that the world has changed
2. Figuring out what has changed and why
3. Adapting to where the world is heading, not where it used to be
This was true in the dot com crash in the year 2000. This was true in the post-9/11 recession. This was true in the Great Recession of 2008. This is true in the COVID-19 recession that we’re in now. It will be true in the next recession too.
What are you focusing on today?
That is very much in your control.
