IF
IF YOU
IF YOU LOST YOUR JOB BECAUSE OF COVID-19.
COVID-19.
COVID-19. THERE ARE STEPS YOU CAN TAKE
NOW TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS NEXT
FOR YOUR CAREER.
I TALKED TO COACH JENNIFER
JONES BRYANT FOR TIPS ON RESUME
BUILDING AND SEARCHING FOR THAT
NEXT JOB.
NEXT JOB.
NEXT JOB. >> I LOVE HOW YOU ARE UPLIFTING
PEOPLE RIGHT NOW.
THIS IS A VERY TOUGH TIME.
THEY LOST THEIR JOB, FILING FOR
UNEMPLOYMENT AND THEY ARE
SCRAMBLING TO KNOW HOW DO I GET
THAT NEXT JOB.
WHEN IT COMES TO THAT RESUME,
WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND PEOPLE
PUT TOGETHER RIGHT NOW?
>> RIGHT NOW, CONCENTRATE AND
FOCUS ON THEIR PASSIONS.
FOR THEM TO SHOW UP ON THE TOP
OF THAT HIGH MANAGER STACK,
LOOK AT REEVALUATING THE
ACCOMPLISHMENTS, THE RESULTS
THEY HAVE ACHIEVED.
TOP FOUR TO FIVE
ACCOMPLISHMENTS, NOT DUTIES BUT
ACCOMPLISHMENTS.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS. >> LIST THAT ON YOUR RESUME.
>> LIST THAT ON YOUR RESUME
BECAUSE HIRE MANAGERS WANT TO
KNOW WHAT CAN YOU DO FOR FROM A
RESULT STANDPOINT AND
PROCESSING EFFICIENCY, ARE YOU
SAVING THEM MONEY.
>> PEOPLE WHO LOST THEIR JOBS
ARE SCARED AND DON'T KNOW HOW
DO I GET BACK OUT INTO THE WORK
FORCE.
FORCE.
FORCE. DO
FORCE. DO YOU HAVE IDEAS FOR WAYS THAT
CAN BE AN EASIER PROCESS?
>> I DO.
>> I DO.
>> I DO. PART OF THAT IS, THERE ARE MANY
WAYS.
WAYS.
WAYS. PART OF IT I WANT PEOPLE TO
FOCUS ON IS LIST THE TOP 40
JOBS, POSITIONS THEY ARE
LOOKING FOR.
LOOKING FOR. RESEARCH THOSE ON GOOGLE.
ALSO TAKE A LOOK AT GLASS DOOR
TO LOOK AT THE REVIEWS.
BECAUSE EMPLOYEES PLACE REVIEWS
ON GLASS DOOR ALL THE TIME.
LOOK AT INDEED.
PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE THAT.
WE WANT TO WORK FOR A
PARTICULAR EMPLOYER, YOU HAVE
TO INTERVIEW THEM AS WELL.
CHECK THEM OUT.
>> GLASS DOOR IS EVALUATING THE
COMPANY ITSELF?
COMPANY ITSELF? >> IT'S EVALUATING THE COMPANY
ITSELF, EMPLOYEES ARE ACTUALLY
OUT THERE PLACING COMMENTS AND
REVIEWS.
REVIEWS.
REVIEWS. YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN
ASSESSMENT TO SEE WHETHER OR
NOT THERE ARE COMMON THINGS.
>> THAT MAKES SENSE.
LOOK AT THE COMPANY THERE.
IS THERE A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE
CAN LOOK FOR A JOB, ESPECIALLY
LOCALLY, LIKE LOCAL RESOURCES?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> ABSOLUTELY. I LEARNED ABOUT THIS, A LOT OF
TIMES, YOU CAN GO TO GOOGLE,
WHATEVER.
WHATEVER.
WHATEVER. WE CAN LOOK LOCALLY AS WELL
LIKE IN MARYLAND THERE IS
SOMETHING CALLED AMERICAN JOB
CENTERS.
CENTERS.
CENTERS. THEY ARE LOCATED IN APPLE
ITUNES ON YOUR PHONE AS WELL AS
GOOGLE PLAY STORE, YOU CAN
DOWNLOAD THE APP AND THERE ARE
30 CENTERS, IF YOU GO ONLINE,
MWEJOBS.MARYLAND .GOV.
MWEJOBS.MARYLAND .GOV. EASY ACCESS ON YOUR iPHONE OR
ANDROID, APPLE, I TUNE OR
GOOGLE PLAY STORE.
>> PEOPLE NEED ONE SMALL THING
TO GET THEM GOING.
I HAD TO TAKE 12 STEPS BACK.
LET ME TRY TO TAKE ONE LITTLE
THING FORWARD.
THING FORWARD. GETTING THAT RESUME TOGETHER,
LOOKING UP OTHER CAREERS YOU
CAN ENTER.
CAN ENTER. THAT'S THE LITTLE STEP YOU
NEED.
NEED.
NEED. >>
NEED. >> ABSOLUTELY.
>> ABSOLUTELY. I DON'T WANT FOLKS TO LOSE
HOPE.
HOPE.
HOPE. THEY MAY HAVE LOST THEIR JOB
BUT IT DID NOT HAPPEN JUST TO
THEM.
THEM.
THEM. IT'S BECAUSE OF WHAT IS
HAPPENING IN THE WORLD RIGHT
NOW.
NOW.
NOW. THEY
NOW. THEY ARE GIFTED.
I DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO LOSE
THAT HOPE.
THAT HOPE. THE EVENT WILL SHINE WHERE
PEOPLE CAN REACH WITHIN TO FIND
THEIR SKILL SET AND TO REALLY
PUSH TO GO OUT THERE AND GET
THE TOP JOB THAT THEY WANT.
WE WANT PEOPLE TO FAN OUT AND
SHINE BRIGHTLY AND I DON'T WANT
THEM TO LOSE THEIR FIRE.
