Article 1 - Planning
Job seekers are reactive when it comes to paving lucrative career paths. As employees they become comfortable with where they are until things get bad then the search is on, and desperateness takes over versus a sound mind with a plan, keyword plan.
"Most job seekers do not plan."
I have experience entrepreneurs who don't plan for success but seek it every day. Reminder, whatever you want to do you must plan to win. Job seekers wait to plan their next move. I often hear I work better under pressure while complaining about being stressed. As a strategist in life, I never understood; for this reason, I focus on mental astuteness, bringing forth individual greatness through an understanding of one's current position against the state of mind to create, move forward, and reach their full potential and achieving goals.
Job seekers need to be more PROACTIVE about their careers and the fact that economic changes and shifts have severe effects on a market, a company's operations, and labor force employability. The candidate pool will get steeper as the market rebounds and reshapes into the new world order. How we live, how we access resources, how we develop resources and opportunities, and how we grow (invest) in our land and people.
First, the "ideal candidate" profile employers are seeking and will be sourcing is not the same as yesterday. The ideal candidate profile has evolved, drastically. There is no room for the dependent employee, the new sought candidate profile consists of thinkers possessing emotional intelligence with the ability and capacity to innovate, transform, drive, and create. As labor force expectations increase so do an employer's requirements. The goodies are on the table work-life balance, higher salaries, remote working, sweeter benefits, and that's just to name a few of the perks. Employers are seeking the Crème de la crème of the crop. The investment is in the package as a result the fit will go far beyond the skills set.
FYI…
LinkedIn Top 25 jobs included 3 Employee-Centric Roles
· Diversity and Inclusion Manager (Fitting In)
· Talent Acquisition Specialist (tight labor market supply requires savviness)
· Chief Human Resources Officer (Ecosystem HQ)
Industry/Occupation Hotties
· Healthcare Support
· Personal care and services
· Food preparation and serving related
· Computer and mathematical
- with the population and labor force growth between 0.5 and 1.0 there will be more will workers than jobs sooner than later. I am keeping an eye on the new start-ups and entrepreneurs entering the market; the success rate and growth of these entities will play a role in job growth and a healthy economic system.
