2020 will definitely be a year we won’t forget! These are Career Sherpa’s top job search articles of 2020 which I also don’t want you to forget!
2020 was filled with first-evers, unprecedenteds and never-in-our-lifetimes. How often did we hear or say these words? And for many, this was a first furlough or layoff resulting in a job search overshadowed by a pandemic.
I found myself spending more time on social media, especially LinkedIn, brainstorming solutions, sharing tips and trying to give a message of hope. I also spent more time on Zoom, virtually interacting with colleagues, job seekers, family and friends.
As difficult as it was, I think it’s fair to say we learned some valuable lessons this year. Or at least I hope we did.
Here are my take-aways from 2020:
- Never take anything for granted
- Always keep reinventing
- Find new ways to stay connected
- Learn new things
- Tell people you love them
We aren’t out of the woods yet, even though there’s a vaccine.
So before wishing 2020 good-bye, I want to share my top 10 job search articles from 2020 because they will still be relevant and helpful into 2021.

Though it seems so long ago, I was officially named as one of LinkedIn’s Top Voices in Job Search and Careers in December of 2019! So technically, I celebrated this in 2020!
I was also fortunate to contribute guest posts, quotes and guest appearances over the past year!
