So why is it so hard to find a job today? <strong>Job stability is all but gone and<\/strong> <strong>all careers are now like startups, or brand new companies built from the ground up. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: In <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/thank-you-for-being-late\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Thank You For Being Late<\/em><\/a>, Thomas Friedman explains why not only the work world but the <em>entire <\/em>world feels more unstable in the 21st century than in the 20th century: <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/thank-you-for-being-late\/part-1#how-todays-conditions-arose-the-pace-of-change\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Change is happening at a faster rate than ever before<\/a>. He explains that humans generally need about 10 to 15 years to adapt to societal and technological change. During the 1900s, it took over 20 years for inventions and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/the-advancement-of-technology\/\">technological progress<\/a> to make the world look different. Since 2016, however, the world feels noticeably different after only five to seven years\u2014a faster rate than we can keep up with.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Technology, Globalization, and the End of Traditional Career Development<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>How did these changes to the professional landscape come about? According to the authors, <strong>technology and globalization have turned the work world from one defined by stability and streamlined careers to one defined by constant flux and competition<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, technology has led to the automation of more and more industries, which has rendered entire career paths obsolete. Hoffman and Casnocha argue that while technology also leads to new jobs, it displaces more jobs than it creates. Additionally, these new jobs often require people to invest more time and education to learn different and more advanced skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second, technology has led to globalization\u2014people can hire and collaborate professionally with others all across the world. We now have far more competitors than ever before, competitors who often already possess the qualifications to do the jobs we want and are willing to do them for less pay. As a result, employers no longer invest money and time into your career development but expect you to train yourself or to learn quickly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, the ready access to a global pool of candidates has eroded the traditional loyalty between an employer and their employees. In this new era of work, instead of staying at one company for the greater part of their careers, people are now changing jobs more frequently or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/working-multiple-jobs\/\">working multiple jobs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Shift Toward Careers as Startups and the Startup Mindset<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The authors argue that because of these changes in modern work, <strong>you deal with many of the same conditions and challenges that startup founders face<\/strong>: limited time and resources, fierce competition over opportunities, and constant risk and uncertainty. Startup lifespans are often short, and similarly, people are staying at companies for shorter periods. Successful startups are aggressive and adaptive no matter how much they expand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To thrive in the job market, therefore, you must treat your career like a startup by adopting a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/startup-roles\/\">startup mindset<\/a>. The authors write that <strong>a startup mindset is founded on the idea of <em>constant growth<\/em>. <\/strong>Because career paths are no longer straightforward, you must always treat yours as \u201cin development.\u201d To do this, make improvement a permanent goal by always seeking to expand your skills and finding new ways to use your knowledge. When you prioritize skill-building and improvement, you\u2019ll be able to pivot to different career paths with ease and success if better opportunities come along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A startup mindset is crucial to succeeding in the uncertain and ever-changing conditions of the job market and economy. It allows you to keep pace with the fast-changing professional landscape and to act swiftly on new opportunities so that you can excel in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/globalization-and-economy\/\">the global economy<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why is it so hard to find a job these days?
