“The secret to success is to use a multiprong approach that leverages online technologies, such as video conferencing platforms, for informational interviews, and using LinkedIn for networking and follow-up—this is critical to landing opportunities especially in the hidden job market,” said Shannon Ratay, senior career coach, Torchiana.
To help job hunters in their search, Torchiana has launched a new set of online offerings: one-on-one video coaching, micro-learning sessions and virtual speed networking. These services have provided structure, hope and networking for many who have been affected by pandemic-driven job loss.
“The job search process has been evolving for years as more high-tech tools saturate the market. These tools have created more visibility and avenues to access job opportunities and networks. Now in-person connections have transitioned to online because of the social distancing challenges being experienced around the world. This actually benefits job seekers because they can network with a greater number of people online,” said Kristie Winchester, director of client services, Torchiana.
