Job hunting during a world crisis
Alumnae Josefina Röckert and Sveta Mardar both shared compelling stories with invaluable tips for job hunting during a world crisis. Not only that, but they also shared how they excelled and thrived in new areas because of the pandemic.
“Don’t let country barriers prevent you from looking into a new job. Go global!”
– Josefina Röckert
Josefina Röckert shared her story about how, after graduating in June 2020, she saw her dream job slip through her fingers as the position was cancelled. She was forced to rethink her options as unemployment was soaring. Josefina shared how this ultimately led her to think outside of the box and land a job in Germany, working remotely from Stockholm.
“You have to accept that you can’t control everything, but you can control your immediate surroundings and how you interpret the world.”
– Sveta Mardar
Sveta Mardar, an external relations strategist working at Ernst & Young in London, told the story of how the UK lockdown had given her the opportunity to start a new initiative. She created a global platform, a podcast and a blog (www.woviddiaries.com) that empowers and inspires women during and beyond COVID-19.
Following this webinar, Sveta also shared her reflections and some of her top tips on LinkedIn. You can read her article here.
