In good time, the third closure is behind us and we are all trying and hoping, once again, to start getting back to routine.

Unfortunately, the past year has led to a change in the routine in question for many, who now find themselves out of a job and not really sure where or how to move from here.

Well, the answer is "in the direction of job search."

The current situation may not be simple, but actually it is time to put more effort in order to return as soon as workforce and to understand why this is the case, we used the Maori Ezekiel, CEO of Manpower.

What has changed in the labor market following the corona?

"The market has changed dramatically, and this change Not going to pass any time soon.

There are quite a few companies and organizations that have realized that it is possible to work at the same productivity, with less manpower, and have used this time to refresh, go through streamlining processes and replace employees who were considered mediocre.

Unfortunately, there are also many good and talented employees who have lost their jobs in the last year because organizations ran into difficulties and had to part with them. "The

situation created led to the so-called" employers market ", when today, for every vacancy there are dozens of candidates. is on top and they can choose exactly the employee suits them. Moreover, the change in the world of work is expected to be felt in the future in two areas worth every potential candidate to pay attention to them, and to emphasize them now, as he explained Orit:

1) working from home:

"this On a platform that has been used less so far, but organizations have seen in the last year that good.

That way they save on electricity, computer equipment, rather than in the office, and they diminish more and more, and optimize operating expenses ".

2) consolidation of roles:

" Another way to shrink and become more efficient in many organizations was becoming two roles consolidate so many employees see their role disappeared " .

We all hope the vaccine will help eradicate the corona as soon as possible, however as mentioned, these changes are here to stay so every employee needs to get stronger and sharper when it comes to their digital capabilities: "Many people first encountered the zoom in their lives in Corona , Orit explains.

"Not for everyone it is simple, but even the day after the corona will require complex capabilities and multi-tasking skills, and employees will have to demonstrate flexibility and adaptability to the new worlds that will be created according to market requirements."

In these worlds, employers will look for traits in candidates such as effectiveness, productivity, creativity and high work ethic, while the corona has also sharpened the need for the ability to work independently from home, and the ability to learn quickly and embrace new situations and changes.

So why is this the best time to look for a new job?

"When the Nahalat period ends, for which the state has undertaken to pay, there will be an even greater flood of candidates.

Quite a few people today claim that they prefer to get the money from the state instead of looking for a job that can pay them similar sums, but this is a terrible mistake because they will get caught up in the flood and the amount of good and coveted jobs will shrink significantly soon.

In addition, there will be more and more candidates for each position, more or less suitable.

It is also important to understand that employers prefer candidates who return to work within a reasonable time, because the more they sit at home and are not exposed to the new work processes we talked about - lose relevance. "

Another problem created by the candidate himself is that sitting at home often leads to loss of self-confidence. Economic or melancholy created by long-term lack of work hurts the candidate on a mental level and when he eventually comes to the job interview and tries to "sell himself", it can be easily noticed. "To reach the job search process with your head held high and with full faith in your abilities and skills, you We need to start now, "Orit adds.

Therefore, candidates who have lost their jobs must" recalculate their path "and make adjustments to the existing situation, strengthen digital skills, take courses that will keep you relevant if necessary and reduce the knowledge gaps created in the past year. Beyond that, a candidate for jobs these days must be involved in social networks, look for new opportunities through them and create a successful digital profile in order to make himself attractive.

"Employers will look for people whose job profile requires certain skills, but also those who bring something beyond the table. It is clear to organizations today that if they take someone whose job is a little small, but one who is also willing to compromise in light of the situation, they benefit."

Finally, Orit explains that during this period it is worthwhile to look for work through social networks, word of mouth and especially, through staffing companies, which have a number of notable advantages:

1) The largest supply of open jobs in the market

2) Staffing companies are also personal agents for candidates. Match between job and job.

In the "Employers Market", a candidate who receives assistance in the form of mediation and guidance of staffing companies increases his potential to stand out and advance in the recruitment chain.

3) Staffing companies save you a lot of time.

Sometimes, as candidates, you will find an advertisement for a job, but the information will be missing or inaccurate.

Through a staffing company you can get the full information, know what profile is required of the candidate and what are the pros and cons of the job, and make the right adjustment instead of wasting time on irrelevant jobs

4) Support - The job search process often includes disappointments.
