Dimensions of Job Search for Vocational High School Graduates During the Covid-19 Pandemic

—The COVID-19 outbreak that is currently facing the world does not only have an impact on human health, but also has a major impact on the global labor market. This raises concern for job seekers who want to find work at this time. This study aims to analyze the dimensions of job search during the Covid-19 pandemic through a literature study of articles published in international journals. Based on the search criteria that have been determined, the authors found 10 appropriate articles published during 2019 to 2021. Next, the authors analyzed these articles and compiled the findings to answer the formulation of the problem in this study. This study examines how job-seeking behavior changed at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the weeks following the incident, and whether the physical contact required by different occupations moderated this trend. The onset of the pandemic creates an immediate increase in job- seeking behavior (job applications), and this effect persists into the post-onset period Offers a theoretical explanation of how job search constraints alongside immunity as a novel psychological state posed by COVID-19 together determine job seeker self-regulation and, in turn, key job search outcomes Self-regulation of job search hinges on job seekers' COVID-19 immunity, a new resource protective cognition that reflects optimistic perceptions of how job seekers feel at risk of catching and falling ill due to COVID-19 Measuring job search responses to the COVID-19 pandemic using real-time data on job postings and the display of job advertisements on Sweden's largest online job board This job search response has the potential to amplify the labor demand shock. the Our findings demonstrate the importance temporal perspective of job search and suggest that the role of personality attributes is related to time and motivation.
