The 21st Century Jobscape

The 21st century jobscape is unlike any other in history. Some of its key features include things such as: 1) a tremendous upheaval in global economic forces; 2) the “flattening” of today’s business environment in such a way that competition for available jobs has been ratcheted up into near-stratospheric levels; 3) an increased need on the part of many businesses to employ people who can comfortably cross the traditional boundaries of job descriptions and easily deploy their skills in a wide variety of available positions (thus significantly reducing costs).

If the preceding paragraph has given you an uneasy feeling about your current job search predicament, then it’s accomplished its purpose. It was written as a wake-up call for all those professionals in transition who still believe that the old, “traditional” methods of looking for jobs will still serve them well and eliminate the uncomfortable period of transition.

To frame out your understanding of Shape My Career’s new methodology, you’ll need to have your finger on the pulse of today’s job market … the “21st century jobscape”, as we call it.

Happy New Year,
