The online survey, available in English and French from August through October 2020, included questions about pandemic experiences. Descriptive statistics and thematic analysis were applied to closed and open-ended responses, respectively. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Results: Thirty-four percent of survey respondents (n\u2009=\u2009524) indicated pandemic effects on job search and described delayed entry into dietetics, fewer job opportunities, and challenges including restricted work between sites. The pandemic affected employment for 44% of respondents; of these, 45% indicated working from home, 45% provided virtual counselling, 7% were redeployed within dietetics, 14% provided nondietetic COVID-19 support, and 6% were furloughed or laid off. Changed work hours, predominantly reduced, were identified by 29%. Changes in pay, identified by 12%, included loss (e.g.,\u00a0raises deferred) or gain (e.g.,\u00a0pandemic pay). Fear of infection and stress about careers and finances were expressed. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic profoundly affected both acquiring positions and employment in 2020 for recent dietetic graduates. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3148\/cjdpr-2023-004","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,28]],"date-time":"2023-04-28T13:51:08Z","timestamp":1682689868000},"page":"200-210","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["COVID-19 Pandemic Effects on Job Search and Employment of Graduates (2015\u20132020) of Canadian Dietetic Programmes"],"prefix":"10.3148","volume":"84","author":[{"suffix":"MHSc, MSc,","given":"M.","family":"Susan Caswell","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Public Health Sciences, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, ON"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"suffix":"PhD, RD","given":"Jessica R.","family":"Lieffers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Pharmacy and Nutrition, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, SK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"suffix":"MSc, RD","given":"Jennifer","family":"Wojcik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dietitians of Canada, Toronto, ON"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"suffix":"MA, FDC","given":"Corinne","family":"Eisenbraun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dietitians of Canada, Toronto, ON"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"suffix":"MEd, RD","given":"Jennifer","family":"Buccino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dietitians of Canada, Toronto, ON"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"suffix":"PhD, RD, F","given":"Rhona M.","family":"Hanning","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Public Health Sciences, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, ON"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1715","reference":[{"key":"refg3\/ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.wneu.2020.05.263"},{"key":"refg4\/ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/jcag\/gwaa034"},{"key":"refg5\/ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1177\/2382120520965247","volume":"7","author":"Dhillon J","year":"2020","journal-title":"J Med Educ Curric Dev."},{"issue":"11","key":"refg6\/ref6","first-page":"860","volume":"66","author":"Chawla K","year":"2020","journal-title":"Can Fam Physician."},{"key":"refg7\/ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/eje.12561"},{"key":"refg12\/ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.17269\/s41997-020-00434-y"},{"key":"refg13\/ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12603-020-1585-z"},{"key":"refg14\/ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.clnesp.2021.05.003"},{"key":"refg15\/ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/cdn\/nzab135"},{"key":"refg16\/ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2196\/27448"},{"key":"refg17\/ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2196\/25820"},{"key":"refg18\/ref18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jand.2021.01.009"},{"key":"refg19\/ref19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/healthcare9020235"},{"key":"refg20\/ref20","unstructured":"Caswell MS (University of Waterloo, School of Public Health Sciences, Waterloo, ON). 2020 national dietetic new graduate survey report.
