-We predict an increase in video or phone interviews as employers look for ways to continue their hiring processes in the upcoming weeks and months.

-Stay in contact with recruiters or employers whose positions you've applied to and continue searching for jobs and internships.
Build a strong online presence. With limited opportunities to interact with students, where might employers turn to recruit? Handshake and LinkedIn! Revisit your headline and LinkedIn summary. Let employers know what you are looking for or desired locations.
-Still exploring career options? Now is a great time to conduct informational interviews. Have a "virtual coffee meeting" with a mentor, someone in your network, or alumni.
