This paper presents our reflection on adapting our methodology for developing training content for young jobseekers to new influencing factors. The development process centers around small development teams working incrementally to expand a suit of VR applications being used for career guidance, so-called 'immersive job taste'. COVID-19 measures have already impacted our ability to carry out user evaluations. Our process can be negatively affected by a headset vendor's new policy. This paper 's contribution is a perspective on the lessons learned and challenges of creating content for a set of VR-based training and career guidance apps targeted at young job seekers, as a part of Virtual Internship project.
