In a fast-paced, competitive field that is always changing, reduced workloads can spell disaster for keeping up with best practices, new tools, and more. Here’s a short list of things you can do to keep sharp for marketers who have been furloughed, laid off, or otherwise seen their job role reduced.
BUILD YOUR NETWORK
Now is the time to expand your reach by strengthening old relationships and establishing new ones. On the other side of COVID, be sure that you are poised for attracting new opportunities and the best way to do that is to stock your network with other marketing professionals. Use any additional downtime to polish your LinkedIn profile and resume. People are more connected to their devices thanks in part to remote work. Take advantage of the captive audience and strengthen your existing relationships by reaching out to current contacts.
