Have you lost your job during COVID 19 ?
If your employer asked you to leave, there are much better things to do than getting depressed. You might be feeling helpless, but you must remember one thing.
Tough times call for tough actions.
We are here to show you a roadmap on how to approach this situation.
5 actions for you if you wish to stay financially fit
Corona Virus has killed many, and planning to continue its kill journey not just affecting the individual, but also by depriving him from his basic needs. Ever since the world faced this pandemic, businesses have fallen leading to millions having lost their job.
Let us see the 5 actions you need to take once you are free:
1. Become a T-shaped or pi-shaped professional
Times change and with that changes the requirement. A requirement for specialists(I-shaped) has now been modified to T-shaped and pi-shaped professionals. These are individuals who specialise in multiple technologies/domains and have a broad knowledge on the overall process.
The biggest benefit they bring to the organisation is reduction of rework. When two specialists work on two different pieces of work, they might have done an excellent job individually but when it comes to integrating both pieces, it becomes a different challenge altogether. This leads to heavy rework.
This problem statement led to a search of T-shaped professionals who specialised in one domain, but also had a fair amount of knowledge on the overall process. This ensured that the challenges are identified early and mitigated.
Now is the time when the market is in search of pi-shaped and comb-shaped professionals. Watch the above video if you wish to know more.
2. Get yourself certified in required areas
Certifications have lately become entry gates into any interview room. They are indicators of an individuals' interest in a particular domain/technology.
While being stuck at home, it is required to utilise this time in upgrading your profile. For that, you need to identify the right certifications that have a market value. This would ensure you get that bonus point during your interview.
Based on your profile, you can search for certifications that are most relevant and hold value. Please refrain from doing certifications for the sake of adding a line item to your profile. Even the recruiters are aware of what is relevant.
3. Start your freelancing journey
Freelancing has become very popular in last decade ever since internet has gained momentum in reaching out to people. Freelancing gives you the opportunity to own a piece of work and deliver it. It strengthens your skillset and pushes you to explore deep into the subject.
Freelancing websites like freelancer.com and upwork.com are the most famous ones where you can easily sign up and start approaching clients for projects. The first client is always the toughest to crack. Lowering your hourly wage does not always work. What works is how you present yourself on the platform.

4. Start networking over social media
Networking has been a key factor in the growth of any individual or business. Effective networking is one where you ensure that your network works for you even when you are not available. Getting your life on track requires awareness of what is happening within your industry. To do that, you need to build a strong network with individuals who are from the industry. Building network does not mean asking for help. It can be discussing a topic on a social forum, or a virtual cup of coffee.
Once you have that, you will be able to know about some internal project level demands and might get a chance via a referral. To know more, check out our P2: Profile Builder Plan on the Products Page.
5. Start your own business
A question is enough to describe this section.
If you have skill that is extra-ordinary and you believe that any organisation who hires you will get benefited by it, then why not market the same skill and be your own boss ? Why earn salary when you can make profit ?
