What You Can Do to Help Someone Who’s Unemployed Due to COVID19

I’m a believer in karma.

The more positive you put out in the world, the more positive you will receive from the world.

Chances are you know someone who has lost their job due to COVID19.

Here’s your chance to put some positive karma into the world this long weekend by doing the following:

• Write the person a LinkedIn recommendation and endorse their skills.
• Facilitate e-intros to your network.
• Offer to have virtual coffee over Skype or Microsoft Team to brainstorm possible next career steps. (be a sounding board)
• Offer to proofread their résumé and cover letter.
• Be their second pair of eyes for opportunities that may be suitable.
• Forward their resume to your network.
• As much as possible, refer the person to hiring managers in your network looking to fill a position.
• Stay in touch.
