I was informed by my Chief Steward that I signed for bolt and bushing that was not installed. This happened if I recall in [Date] last year when everybody is worried of being furloughed and shifting around because of pandemic. This is also the stage where we are fixing a lot of paperwork to better organize the system. Job cards are not intact and constantly being put to revision to better understand by the mechanic. I know for a fact that sometimes a lot of mechanics are hesitant to sign because they don't understand the card or what component they wanted to put in. And there are some scenarios that the Engine was already built but paperwork are not being signed. I did install the component because I signed for it. At the time a lot of mechanics in this area were new like me. I was working alone and I did not have a qualified technician with me to double check my work.
Technician reported being advised of signing off for work that was not completed. Technician cited COVID-19 pandemic related worry and distraction as contributing factors.
