It is tough times right now. In the past two weeks, entire industries have collapsed (e.g., affirmative action planning, DEI). If you are a professional, reach out to your friends and colleagues and check in on them. Being in a profession means being part of a community. Do what you can to support others during these chaotic times.

PS: Reinforcing your connections now may help if you find yourself without a job in the future.

Best of luck out there 🍀

Edwin, an anthropomorphic jackrabbit, is wearing a business casual outfit and has a grumpy expression on his face. He gives job searching tips by speaking directly to the reader using a dialogue bubble. Edwin says,
"Networking is a viable, and for some industries critical, way to find job opportunities. Jobs found through networking almost always speed up the process, whether it is getting your application to the top of the stack, skipping the skills assessment, or landing you a job offer. Just know there is luck involved. It is easy to spend too much time networking."
