According to a recent report, many Brits across the country are feeling stressed when it comes to trying to find a new job role during the Coronavirus crisis.
The survey of 1,100 UK professionals, carried out by CV-Library, revealed that as many as 92.6% of Brits were hoping to apply for a new job this year.
One in four (28.5%) said that they’d put their job search on pause due to the current situation, with 59.8% saying they will continue to put the brakes on until the lockdown is completely lifted and 3.6% admitting to giving up searching for the rest of the year.

Whether that was to find a new job, set up a new business or embark on an exciting new career path. Sadly, the Coronavirus pandemic has flipped the world on its head and forced people to abandon these plans, which is resulting in a lot of angst and uncertainty.
“For employers and recruiters, the fact that more people are wanting to change jobs is a massive positive, but we know that organisations are already making difficult decisions around their existing workforce. While job vacancies are starting to pick back up, opportunities have been limited over the past few months and this is naturally making job seekers feel nervous.”
