We provide easy-to-use information that accelerates your ability to find and keep fulfilling employment.Applying for jobs online is easy but it lulls you into a false sense of accomplishment. Forbes estimates 122 people apply for a typical LinkedIn job. 24 will be invited for an interview, 4 will make it to the 2nd interview and 1 will be hired. Basically, you have less than a 1% chance of getting the job. There are better ways:
Mega Trends Driving The Job Market:
The people who want you to work until 70 are the same people who don't want to hire you past 50.
The prices of goods and services are increasing rapidly forcing people to work longer and save less for retirement.
Job security is evaporating. Established and startup companies are transforming the landscape. New technologies challenge existing skill sets. The shrinking workforce is forced to be more productive.
Established industries are transforming: autos: electric cars; Power generation: solar, wind; retail: eCommerce; food: takeout, delivery; entertainment: streaming just to name a few. New Industries are forming, established industries are transforming or disappearing. Whole classes of jobs are disappearing or the skills requirements are evolving; secretaries, truck drivers, factory workers, lawyers, middle management, etc..
Creator Economy
Work from any location
Work hours and the definition of the workplace are fluid.
Artificial Intelligence is shrinking the need for high paid professionals.
Electronic monitoring in our personal and work lives is commonplace.
Wage growth is not keeping up with inflation.
Fewer companies offer company funded retirement plans.
These factors are pushing many of us to work later in life. Retirement funds may not enough to maintain our standard of living. However, If we keep honing your employable skills, actively seek out employment opportunities that are good fits for our skills and interests, stay active, take care of our mental and physical health and stay positive, we can find meaningful and fullfilling work.
