It's important to be constantly learning and changing as things change. Job search is difficult enough without having the whole world shut down. Many people lost their jobs and had to adapt to a new way of job search, purely online. Is networking still important? What help is there for job seekers? We will cover this and many more topics with Suzanne. Suzanne Ricci is the Chief Success Officer at Computer Coach Training Center.
