Pandemic-related Questions

Whatever word you use to describe the last 27 months, we can all agree it’s been messy. Jobs, families, travel, friends, well-being–everything has been affected and no single human has been immune from it’s affects. The pandemic has wreaked havoc on our careers as well–lay-offs, job elimination, furloughs, illness–you name it. The last time we saw gaps like these in resumes was during the great recession in 2008-2011. So this week, for the last installment of our Tough Interview Questions series, we’ll address how to talk about the following unique pandemic-related issues:

1. A gap in employment
2. Job hopping
3. Work schedules
4. Underemployment
5. Salary

Here’s to hoping that the pandemic messiness is coming to a close and that both companies and their teams can find common ground in order to keep commerce and innovation moving forward. It takes people like you to solve problems and make the economy healthy.

Thank you so much for joining us these past few weeks as we tackled the toughest interview questions out there in our six-part series. Until next time–to your success!
