TRIBUNBATAM.id - Since the Covid-19 outbreak, many unwanted things have happened. Starting from a slumping business, there were cuts in wages, and even employee dismissals. 

Almost all countries are experiencing very worrying economic turmoil. 

In these conditions, finding a job is also very difficult. Moreover, many companies experience shocks on their cash flow. 

One radio broadcaster who is now working in a technology marketing, JayDee Lok, said he was also one of the workers laid off because of the pandemic.

Fortunately, within 2 weeks he got a job offer from a major tech. 

He also shared 4 tips on how to find job during the pandemic. 

1. Throw a wide net

JayDee shared that he applied for 97 jobs after being fired. In fact, this number does not even include applications that he sent by email. 

According to him, it would be helpful to think about all the skills you have even though you have not used them at all in the past few weeks.

Once you have finished plugging in all your skills you just need to click on the 'Apply Now' button. 

2. Do your homework

He said that a lot of people, when asking for work from other people who are already working in a company, are too arrogant and too open.

This can also prevent people from providing assistance or responses because it is not their priority. 

Therefore, he advises you before approaching someone, go to their company website and find out what roles or positions are available for which you already have the requirements, then, ask specific questions when contacting that person.
