The best advice I can give you is to embrace a ‘forever learning’ trait in your toolbox of skills. This will keep you curious, adaptive, and engaged.
To be employable…means, you need to be and stay competitive.
I don’t want to make you anxious, on the contrary. My advice is based on our current research, the Masterclasses we run and being deeply engaged with candidates and clients on this subject since we all started feeling the effects of COVID-19, as well as taking into account the decades of industry experience we have.
Without a skerrick of doubt, when recruiting in the future, companies will be looking at totally different skill sets. This will mean you need to take action today and be ready for the change ahead of time. These actions don’t have to be big; incremental shifts are all that is required and mentally accepting the concept is the first step
If you have read this far, my bet is you are already on the right path in accepting our new reality!
Also keep in mind that any instability, be it economic, social, or simply disruptive, will spark the talent competition and will benefit those who decided to invest in their own development, ongoing learning and growth seriously.
