Getting hired during a pandemic demands more than submitting a polished résumé. With businesses focused on survival and competition for jobs intensifying, I share practical lessons on standing out, from researching employers and defining your unique value to avoiding simple mistakes, building genuine connections and showing exactly what you can bring to the business.

COVID-19 fatigue can quietly weaken our vigilance. Reflecting on my own shift from extreme caution to complacency, I argues that Ghanaians must resist desensitisation, take the pandemic’s risks seriously and continue observing protective measures.
