We’ve all heard the news…

Whether we like it or not, we must prepare for the worst any time soon. This post is not to demotivate or discourage any of us. We have done great in making an effort to make this “new norm” a better time, and our battle shouldn’t stop here!

The past COVID-19 lockdown has forced us to sit tight at home. Being a good citizen, we should always be careful and take extra precautions wherever we go.

If there is going to be another lockdown coming, how can you prepare yourself for it?

1. Learn skills that benefit Work From Home

Even today, there are still many of us working from home. In this new norm, you may be surprised that almost half of the existing jobs today can benefit from Work From Home. Professions that can entirely rely on a digital medium like designers, writers, animators, consultants, and programmers, can secure their stable income even though the whole company decided to shut down its doors.

Hence, it is advisable to start learning new skills that can allow you to find jobs that benefit from Work From Home. Even though you feel these competencies may be out of your comfort zone, it’s essential to put a positive mindset and adapt yourself to this new norm.

2. Start an online presence

If you feel that your current job is not something you see yourself doing in the next 10-years, take this time to reflect and ask, what are you passionate about? If you are a creative person and want to utilize your social media presence as a brand, you maybe can start doing so now.

Choose a platform that you feel more suitable to your brand; Instagram, Facebook, Blog, Youtube, etc. Realize that if there were going to be a new lockdown, people are going to be in their house 24/7, meaning they will be on their phones more often. Hence, if you start building your online presence now, you maybe can start acquiring revenue at that time.

3. Update your CV and professional accounts

It is never too late to update your CV and professional accounts. Not only it’ll benefit you in finding new jobs, updating your CV enables you to reflect on the skills and experience you’ve gathered. This allows you to rethink the path you want to take and scout different job scopes that you never thought you’re good at.

For example, if you were a writer, you may be also familiar with social media. Hence, you may want to start exploring more on the world of social media and make that as an added alternative to your job application.

4. Take on a new foreign language

Do you realize that the world is evolving and slowly becoming more borderless than before? With the use of the Internet, you can connect yourself with users that are 5000km away from you. And if you’re smart, you can benefit from this!

When you are well-versed in another language, you can put that as a strong point in your CV to look for international jobs. There are many companies out there that are looking for multi-lingual translators. There are many FREE classes you can take on online.

5. Be healthier, get fit!

With the Coronavirus outbreak, it is also a good time to start taking care of your body more. If you previously eat carelessly and don’t consume essential supplements, it is advisable to start a healthier lifestyle now. There’s are so many supplement options you can choose from in your local pharmacy. Vitamin C, multivitamins, veggie pills; these are some of the many supplements you can take to increase your immunity.

Aside from supplements, natural superfoods can also be put as a consideration. One of the most common, yet powerful natural superfoods in pure natural honey.
