Laid off due to COVID-19?

Here’s how to explain your Covid-19 layoff on a resume, cover letter, and interview.

• Be upfront about your layoff on your resume. If you show your end date any time after March, there’s a good chance most hiring managers and recruiters will know that your layoff was due to the coronavirus pandemic.

• Don’t list specific reasons for your layoff on your resume. Instead, provide brief details in your cover letter.
