“Between COVID-19, record-high unemployment numbers and the collapse of entire industry sectors, 2020 has been a miserable year for older workers. In fact, for the first time in nearly 50 years, older workers face higher unemployment than mid-career workers, according to The New School Retirement Equity Lab. And a Champlain College survey found that 9% of boomers and 11% of Gen Xers have lost jobs in the pandemic. Yet despite all the challenges, millions of Americans did get hired this year. As of September, the unemployment rate had ticked down to a still steep 7.9% from a near historic 14.7% in April. What strategies did job seekers and gig workers use that can help you find employment in 2021? To help answer that question, I asked five of my career coaching colleagues to reflect on their clients' winning job search tactics from 2020.”

“All in all, it’s safe to say these next few months, if not years, are shaping up to be a challenging time if you’re a jobseeker. It’s dramatically different from the environment just three months earlier. But if you stay persistent and practice these steps, it’s more likely to pay off, Pollak says. ‘Even when there is a competitive labor market, there are some people who still strike it lucky,’ Pollak says. ‘If you’re applying and monitoring every day, chances are you will get a job and a good job. This is really a time to understand that the job market is really competitive and to be the best competitor you can.’”

“Eye-tracking research has shown that an HR professional will review your resume for a mere seven seconds, and companies are increasingly using automation to screen resumes.
