If you like what you read here, there\u2019s plenty more to check out in the guide!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-job-market-trends-since-2008\"><strong>Job Market Trends Since 2008<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the last major recession in 2008, the job-hunt has changed and the pre-recession job-hunting strategies many of us are familiar with are no longer effective. Here are some of the changes in the job market since 2008:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Jobs take longer to find.<\/strong> From 1994 to 2008, only 10% of job-hunters took more than a year to find work. Since 2008, 17-30% of job-hunters take more than a year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Jobs don\u2019t last as long.<\/strong> Since 2008, more jobs have been temporary, contract, or part-time. There are advantages to these types of jobs for employers\u2060\u2014employers only need to pay people for the exact amount of time that they\u2019re needed, and they don\u2019t have to pay benefits or vacation.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Job-hunting is a constant. <\/strong>Since jobs don\u2019t last as long, we have to hunt for new ones more frequently.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Jobs increasingly involve new technology.<\/strong> Technology advances every day, and while it\u2019s not going to replace everyone, everyone\u2019s going to have to learn to work with machines according to job market trends. While technology could reduce 5-19% of current jobs, technology will also create new jobs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Job postings are increasingly digital. <\/strong>These days, there are several online types of job boards, including generalized ones that post jobs in any industry, to age-, industry-, or company-specific boards. Jobs are also posted on social media.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Job-hunters must now cater to employers\u2019 preferred hiring processes.<\/strong> When times are good, as they were before 2008, employees are in demand. As a result, employers cater to job-hunters\u2019 preferences\u2060\u2014for example, they post jobs widely and publicly and read resumes closely. When times are bad, however, employers don\u2019t have to put in the same amount of effort to find workers\u2060\u2014there are more people than jobs. As a result, employers fill positions using their preferred methods, such as hiring from within the company or hiring friends of their existing employees. <strong>Employers and job-hunters approach an open position in almost exactly opposite ways<\/strong>, so if times are bad and you\u2019re not prioritizing employers\u2019 preferences, you\u2019re unlikely to find a job. Here are some specifics on the differences between how employers and job-hunters approach an open position:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Employers approach hiring as an elimination game\u2060\u2014they winnow down the applicants first and then select someone from a group of finalists. Job-hunters would prefer a non-elimination-style process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Employers want job-hunters to find them. Job-hunters want to <em>be <\/em>found by employers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Employers want to know everything about a job-hunter, while a job-hunter would prefer to share only what&#8217;s on her resume.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Employers don\u2019t want to confirm receipt of applications because they\u2019re busy, while job-hunters wish they would.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Employers don\u2019t want to increase hiring until they need people. (And employers aren\u2019t necessarily motivated by government hiring incentives because these incentives have a time limit.) Job-hunters would prefer employers to always increase hiring.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-hasn-t-changed-since-2008\"><strong>What Hasn\u2019t Changed Since 2008<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After reading the above, you might be thinking that the job market trends aren\u2019t looking good. However, there are two elements of the job market that haven\u2019t changed and will probably never change:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. There are still plenty of jobs available.<\/strong> You might feel like few jobs exist because of what you hear in the media or because you haven\u2019t been able to get hired. However, the media tends to exaggerate the negative job market trends, and the fact that you haven\u2019t got a job probably has more to do with your approach (which you can change) than any universal job shortage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>For example, consider the two reports on job market trends the US Bureau of Labor Statistics puts out every month. One of the reports gives the number of new jobs created, and the other gives the number of existing jobs that are unfilled. While the media will focus on the number of new jobs created, which is always less than the number of people who want jobs, new jobs don\u2019t represent overall availability. When you look at both numbers together, you\u2019ll see that there are plenty of jobs out there.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. The fundamental goal of the job hunt is to figure out if the job-hunter and employer are compatible.<\/strong> Think of a job hunt like dating instead of marketing. As job-hunters, we tend to be overly concerned about whether an employee likes us, but it\u2019s just as important that we consider if we like them. If we don\u2019t, and we take a job with them anyway, we\u2019re eventually going to \u201close\u201d the job by quitting later because we\u2019re unhappy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are the job market trends you need to know?
