ABSTRACT
The global Pandemic as a result of a recently discovered coronavirus has affected every aspect of our lives. Global pandemic was announced on 11 March 2020 by World Health Organization (WHO) as a result of COVID-19 outbreak. Sentiment categories of positive, negative and neutral were done automatically on the transcripts of interviews. The top keywords extracted from the interviews referred to “people”, “time”, “industry” and “jobs” which may show the extent of concern individuals would have regarding job security in a timely manner. Though the findings require further scrutiny, such interviews and their analyses may provide a framework to explore how individuals' strategies can lead to prosperity post-pandemic. Moreover, future studies can take advance of qualitative methods such as Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis to identify the underlying challenges everyone undergoes during the pandemic.
