Typically, June marks the celebration of college graduation and the exciting job hunt that follows. This year, graduates are still looking for work, but they will be competing for jobs in one of the toughest markets in recent history—and they’ll be doing it all remotely. Finding work, especially if you’re starting from scratch or changing industry, is always a challenge but doing it in these unprecedented times may feel impossible. But don’t panic! Here are a few tricks of the trade that will help you set yourself apart, prepare for your interview, make a great impression, and land the job of your dreams!

Network. This may seem tough when you can’t go to job fairs or seek out informational interviews in person, but quarantining shouldn’t keep you from reaching out virtually. Start with LinkedIn. Grow your first level network and then see who’s friends with your friends. You may be surprised to find someone a step or two away works at the company you’d love to work for. Read articles or blogs written by their employees, find something that resonates with you, and reach out.

Know what you want. Do you want to travel? Are you willing to move? Work odd hours or keep traditional hours? Do you want a job you can do quietly by yourself or work with a large team? If anything in an ad or a call with a recruiter gives you pause—and it’s not something you can negotiate away—move on.

Compromise. With the above advice in mind, if you don’t have the luxury of waiting around for the perfect job—student loan repayment starts 6 months after graduation—and you receive an offer you can stomach, don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Graciously accept the offer but keep looking elsewhere. Worst case, you get some solid experience and make some good contacts. Best case, you learn to love the job!

Make yourself irresistible. If the job hunt is dragging, use your time to beef up your resume. Get certified, take some free classes online, read everything you can about your desired industry. That way, when you do get an interview, you’ll have interesting things to say and a breadth of knowledge that will set you apart.

Prepare to Zoom. You may not be able to interview in person so make sure you’re ready to interview via video conference or phone. Get a haircut, put on a suit (top and bottom), and pick a professional background. And, if you end up interviewing by phone, here’s an old salesman trick: Keep a mirror on your desk and keep good eye contact with yourself during the call. Nod, smile, look pensive. The interviewer will pick up on these non-verbal cues and you’ll transform a potentially robotic phone call into a friendly, engaging chat with a future employee.

Best of luck. You’ve got this!
