It's safe to argue that the COVID-19 experience has permanently altered how Americans view their life in general and their relationship to their jobs in particular.
Many employees have taken a step back and reevaluated what truly matters to them in a job and career as a result of the increased attention on flexibility, work-life balance, and personal welfare.
The epidemic has altered both the way we work and the way job seekers search for employment. If you're looking for a new position in 2023, you should be aware of the following job search trends.
The same things that made a great candidate in the past aren’t exactly the same as what employers are looking for today.
As new technologies, processes, and (of course) trends emerge, the skills that support them come into vogue.
Clear communication via digital mediums is a big one. That’s things like email etiquette, video call composure, and being up to speed with project management tools.
First and foremost, remote work isn’t going anywhere as far as both workers and employers are concerned.
Not only does remote work help with work-life balance, but professionals who decide to look for new positions have the added benefit of being able to expand their job search geographically.
Employees are increasingly looking for possibilities that would fulfill them both professionally and personally, and many are willing to leave their existing jobs to find them.
If this describes you, look for companies with expanded employee benefits like gym memberships, paid time off, mental health services, childcare services/reimbursement and even financial advising.
If you apply for a remote job, your interview is likely to be conducted virtually. Be ready. It remains important to prepare and dress like you would for an in-person interview.
Also, make sure that your internet connection is strong, your video software is working correctly and that all at-home distractions are kept to a minimum.
Make every effort to develop and broaden your web presence. Create a stunning LinkedIn profile that fully highlights your professional background and skill set.
Try to interact with thought leaders in your industry on that platform and other social media platforms. You might be surprised at how open they are to interacting with you in return.
