It seems kind of a sham to write this for a generic audience when specific job sectors are likely to be much worse hit. If you’ve built a career in management at a large retailer for instance, and all the large retailers are hurting the same, your resume probably doesn’t matter at all in this downturn.

When will you get a chance to elevator pitch someone while on lockdown?

What do you do if you don’t like data privacy practices or dark patterns of platforms like LinkedIn or social networks?

In reality this article is written only for white collar workers in industries likely not as strongly impacted by the recession who are looking at job options at other white collar positions also not heavily impacted. And in that case the advice basically boils down to “do what you would normally do.”

In that sense it’s kind of a frustrating article masquerading as though it’s helpful to people hitting hard times.
