How to deal with this pandemic situation?

How many of you are scared in this unprecedented situation of COVID-19?

A lot of you might be wondering about your career prospects and lack of available job opportunities in the market.

Some of you might be really worried about the current lockdown situation. Well, there’s something that you should take care of- Your learning curve!

India as a nation has faced some of the most difficult challenges like the gruesome attacks of 26/11, demonetization etc. But after each ‘Black Swan’ events like these, India came out stronger and better than it was previously.

If we all can decide to change things for better, nothing can stop us from achieving it. Moreover, this time is not to react and feel negative about everything that’s happening to us but to acquire new skills, prepare a reading list, take up some online courses, or look for new interests or hobbies.

It’s the best time to work on your learning curve. The only thing which I can say at this point of time is- this too shall pass.

For all the Job seekers out there- take up some online course/certifications, build your LinkedIn profile, look for freelancing opportunities online. Once everything comes back to normal, you’ll have a much better chance to stand out in the interviews than others with the help of these extra mile steps.

For all the employees who are currently working from home- Don’t lose hope, practice some yoga, breathing techniques (Wim Hof method), develop new interests/hobbies, spend time with your loved ones. This time is never going to come back. Make the most out of it.

For helping you deal this with stressful time, I have compiled a list of some great resources which will help you stay productive in this time of absolute uncertainty.

Key ingredients of a website.

What is a website made up of? 

Gone are the days when websites looked dull and only used to include information about your company in a few paragraphs. 

Now a days, websites includes almost everything-from your product/service details to taking online appointments, from infographics to videos, from placing orders online to raising refund requests. The role of websites has changed drastically. Today, lets discuss about the key ingredients of a website. 

a) Choosing a great domain name: Every website has a domain name. No website can ever exist without a domain name. It’s an important ingredient that constitutes a website. For eg, https://www.flipkart.com/ (Bold text here refers to domain name.

b) Organizing your site properly: Another key ingredient that makes a good website is organizing your site properly. Just imagine, if supermarkets would have placed different items without sorting them out. It would be a disaster. It’s going to only confuse people. 

Similarly, in the digital world, your website should not confuse the visitor and should also be user friendly. A visitor should find all the relevant information on the website and everything should be organized keeping in mind your target audience.

c) Adding features that bring value in the lives of your customers: Just imagine if Amazon’s website did not have the product photographs and only included all the details in the text form. Do you think it would have made any sense to its customers? Of course not! This website ingredient is all about adding the best features to the websites that brings value in the lives of customers.
