We’re halfway through 2020. Without a doubt, it’s a total one-eighty from last year. We’re seeing a resurgence of numbers in parts around the world, just when we felt like we have COVID-19 under control.
With the coronavirus in full blast, our health isn’t the only thing we have to worry about. Job security is also up in the air. With the exception of essential professions, such as healthcare providers, that keep our economy going and help our communities.
But there are a few careers out there that have proven to be resilient even during a global pandemic:
Customer Service Representative
Customer service representatives are the face of the organization and directly interact with customers. People need assistance and have their questions answered for a lot of things, such as canceling services, placing orders, and even for companies that are adapting their operations to a virtual setup.
Data Analyst
COVID-19 impacted every aspect of our lives, data analysts play a role in identifying those changes. Data analysts are able to analyze large data and filter important information. This helps companies make informed decisions on how to adapt to the COVID-19 situation, and what to expect during and after the pandemic passes.
Graphic Designer
There’s a surge in internet activity as more people go online to stay connected. Companies see this as an opportunity to increase their digital marketing efforts to reach out to their customers. As a result, graphic designers are in demand. They are responsible for crafting the visual aspect of marketing materials like social media posts, logos, infographics, and pop-up ads to name a few.
Digital Marketing Manager
The job of a digital marketing manager is ultimately responsible for reaching out to a company’s target audience and help convert the audience into paying customers. Similar to graphic designers, it’s a resilient career. Companies, in any industry, will always need digital marketing managers to plan and manage a campaign to promote their products and service.
Lawyer
Governments around the world are coming up with new laws and regulations as fast as possible to help countries’ cope with the coronavirus pandemic. While businesses rush to settle their finances, coming up with new work regulations, and some even filing for bankruptcies. All of these need lawyers. Lawyers are responsible for advising and help process the legal procedures on behalf of their clients.
Sales Account Manager
Sales account managers are the liaison between clients and the company’s internal teams. They can work in a remote setup because they already communicate with clients through virtual platforms, like making calls, and check in via email. Sales account managers are responsible for developing and maintaining a good rapport with clients. Their roles have become more important in keeping clients as people and companies are withdrawing from services and refraining from purchasing unnecessary products to save money.
Software Developer
To minimize physical contact and improve virtual services, companies are creating tech solutions to provide safer alternatives during the coronavirus pandemic. Software developers and other tech-related careers are in demand because of this. They are responsible for maintaining existing systems to adapt to the large influx of users; implementing updates for faster services, and deploy new software tools to help people.
UI/UX Designer
UI/UX designer is responsible for developing interactive programs for an attention-grabbing user interface (UI) and enhanced user experience (UX). It’s a career that combines technical elements from programming, digital design, and even psychology. Similar to a software developer, an UI/UX designer career is resilient due to the need for new tech solutions that are adapted to the problems caused by the pandemic.
Writer
The job of a writer is to produce content that showcases the company, and its products or services through published articles, scripts for videos, and copies for social media posts. It’s a versatile career because writers usually need a laptop and stable internet access to do their job. Plus, people will always need timely and accurate information regardless of the situation.
Most of the careers listed above are able to thrive during a pandemic because of the following reasons:
- Easily adaptable to remote work setup
- Processes that can only be fulfilled by specific professions
- Provide answers, solutions, and information to help people
