Surely you can find better things to do while staying at home. Maybe watch YouTube videos on how to repair motorcycles. I doesn’t matter that you don’t have a motorcycle.
Seriously, it is a time you can “sharpen your saw.” During my recent unemployment, I downloaded the free 30-day trail versions of Crystal Reports, Tableau and Power BI and evaluated them and said so at the bottom of my resume.
This did a couple of things: (1) It’s a sneaky way to get those keywords on my resume. (2) I can honestly answer that I am familiar with the tools and would have no problem working with them. (3) It proves that I am interested in self-improvement.
I also had the ability to pay for an online course to get certification as a SCRUM Master: a skill I’ve been using for 40 years and didn’t know what it was called. But it was another key word on the resume that drew a lot of hits.
