- 13. Forward Forecasts: A Lot of Hope According to recruiters, there might be a return to growth in Spring 2024. Many economists expect interest rates to fall in a presidential election year, spurring more investment. Election years generally have a good economy. AI will remain hot as companies continue to invest in the technology. Recession worries continue. All of this is speculation—you are still in control of your own career.
- 14. How to Figure Out What To Do
- 15. Start With What You Know MANY PEOPLE VIEW CAREERS AS KNOWING THE ANSWERS NOW. IT’S NOT THAT. KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GOOD AT OR CAN BE GOOD AT. EVALUATE YOUR VALUES AND INTERESTS.
- 17. Do Your Research Pay attention to ongoing industry trends. Understand the skills that are needed to get into a certain job. Invest in the education and outcomes. Conduct informational interviews.
- 18. Invest in Yourself Navigate imposter syndrome. Invest in education— and projects. View yourself as a startup ready to launch. Network in the right communities.
- 19. How to Approach the 2024 Job Search
- 20. Understanding What’s Ahead It’s the toughest job market since 2008. Competition is fiercer than ever across all functions. Some industries are faring better than others. Don’t be hard on yourself but be fair. Look for opportunities in unlikely places.
- 21. Don’t Take a Great Resignation Mindset into a Return to Office World
- 22. Step #1: Build Your Personal Brand It’s not who you know or what you know, it’s who knows you. Build credibility and recognition through thoughts. Go where your audience is (usually LinkedIn). Network and meet people strategically.
- 23. Step #2: Go on Offense With Your Search TURN ON ”OPEN TO WORK” SETTINGS. USE THE JOB SEARCH SITES THAT BEST FIT YOU. UNDERSTAND THAT OPPORTUNITIES CAN FROM UNLIKELY PLACES. FIND AN ACCOUNTABILITY PARTNER.
- 24. Step #3: Tell the Story You Want Heard Build a resume that showcases your history. Create interview answers based on what you anticipate. Be consistent with your message to the world. Practice, practice, practice.
- 25. Step #4: Interview with Confidence Understand what’s at stake. Know where you create risk and mitigate. Know where you excite employers and build momentum. Use the types of interview questions to your advantage.
- 27. Step #5: Turn Job Hunting into a Habit Don’t stop until you sign an offer and keep going until you start. Be consistent about job hunting and finding your next role. Be flexible, yet don’t sacrifice for the things you really want. It’s OK to take a contract as a bridge.
- 28. Step #6: Help Others IT’S A TOUGH JOB MARKET OUT THERE. NETWORK AND ASK, BUT ALSO OFFER. SHARE LISTINGS THAT DON’T FIT FOR YOU. BOOST LINKEDIN POSTS FOR GREATER REACH.
- 29. Step #7: Continue Investing in Yourself Overcome imposter syndrome and build confidence. Take courses to increase your skills. Attend conferences and networking events.
- 30. What To Do Once You’ve Been Hired
- 31. A New Job is a New Beginning NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO REST—IT’S THE TIME TO KEEP GOING. YOU SHOWED THE HIRING MANAGERS THAT YOU HAD POTENTIAL; NOW IT’S TIME TO PERFORM.
- 32. A New Job Means New Goals Learning new skills Developing leadership Growing communications skills Earning increased duties
- 33. Things to Keep in Mind A job is rarely forever, so keep networking and building your brand. As you register accomplishments, write them down for your resume. Stay in touch with old recruiters and those you network with.
