Trends in Employment are Changing the Way We Work

Everything changes over time and employment is no different. To remain up-to-date with current employment trends, you may want to review magazines and newspapers to find out more about your target region, and and to find specific information about the industry and occupation where you want to secure employment.

There are many employment trends to consider when thinking about the job search process - here are some "general" ones for you to consider.

  • In the 21st century, it is common for people to change their employment more often. It is not uncommon today for people to change positions every three years.

  • It is imperative that you either become computer literate or continue to upgrade these skills. Software is changing at a phenomenal rate, and employers will expect you to be aware of these changes.

  • Compensation and education are interrelated. Education is imperative and you will be paid accordingly.

  • The increase in the number of women who have entered the work force and "climbed the ladder" is staggering.

  • Many jobs are found through the hidden market; the majority of positions are never advertised.

  • Companies are downsizing and reorganizing at a rapid pace.

  • There is more competition, for fewer positions.

  • Demand for IT professionals is expected to grow in leaps and bounds.

  • There seem to be many new jobs in smaller businesses, and fewer in larger corporations.

It is important not to get left behind, so keep on track and...
  • Continue to upgrade your skills.

  • Do what you enjoy; something you are passionate about.

  • Apply to smaller companies - they may have some great opportunities.

  • Incorporate work, life, and learning in everything you do - and enjoy the rewards.

  • Hire a Career Coach, so you can set goals and create a life plan.
