Stuck at home after a campus lockdown or maintaining social distance to avoid the global corona pandemic? Well, we at InsideIIM too are maintaining social distance and our Founder, Ankit Doshi spoke about the careers in the times of Coronavirus in a webinar on 19th March, 2020. It is quite understandable that there is a general fear among people, not only about the pandemic but also about the probable crippling effects of the same on the economy. Will your jobs will be at stake? Right after your B-school, would this affect your career prospects? Is it going to affect the ongoing placements or admissions in the B-schools? This and a lot more has been addressed by Ankit. You can watch the recording of the webinar here:
Key Takeaways From The Webinar:
  1. Tourism is one of the most impacted sectors due to coronavius pandemic.
  2. Joining dates at companies for internships and placements will be delayed.
  3. If you are not from a tier I b-school, it may be possible that any job offers may be withdrawn.
  4. If you're struggling to find a job, keep upskilling yourself online. It's time to focus on learning. : You can check out videos, courses and certifications to skill yourself during this downtime.
  5. You can take a remote project while at home by reaching out to startup founders and other executives on Linkedin or other platforms.
  6. Use this downtime to network and build connections online. Focus on creating a genuine connection with people instead of looking at what they can do for you.
  7. Read as much as you can to build your mental muscle.
  8. Summer Internships will probably be remote.
  9. There's a possibility of a lower number of PPOs handed out this year.
  10. It's a great time to join b-school; not so much for the job market.
  11. Remote working could develop into a way of life
