Keeping up with all the changes in job search isn’t something most people have time for. That’s one of the reasons I curate articles and share them in Summary Sunday.
You are busy doing your job, not worrying about the latest trends in hiring or workplace trends. But when it is time to look for a new job, you need to know what’s going on.
For those of you who subscribe to my newsletter (subscribe here) you may have noticed it’s been a while since you last got your Summary Sunday. November 26th to be exact. Well, I took a hiatus. I have been regularly posting a summary for over 10 years but I needed a break. I needed to spend time NOT thinking about job search trends, NOT reading what the experts were saying. I needed a reboot and fresh perspective.
Here are recent articles I found that brought me back up to speed and I hope will do the same for you.
WORKPLACE
These 2 articles align well.
HR Predictions for 2024: The Global Search For Productivity – Josh Bersin
Read this to understand the trends in hiring and artificial intelligence. It’s written primarily for Human Resources and will help job seekers understand how employers think. Bersin writes “as we enter 2024, all that is different. We have to “hoard our talent,” invest in productivity, and redevelop and redeploy people for growth.”
6 Future Job Market Trends to Watch Out for in 2024 – Teal
This also reveals hiring trends but this is written specifically for job seekers. And if you haven’t tested Teal’s free job tracker yet, I highly recommend it.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
It’s tough to keep up with all the changes in artificial intelligence. I subscribe to these 2 newsletters that summarize important developments and tools. (I don’t read every issue, but when I do, I learn something new!)
A daily look at AI tools and news. (Be sure to check out their list of AI tools, resources and courses)
This is mostly a look at AI news.
RETURN TO OFFICE
CEOs Are Using Return To Office Mandates To Mask Poor Management – Forbes
It’s what we’ve all suspected. “[A] recent research paper published by University of Pittsburgh, … suggests that organizations are leveraging Return-To-Office mandates not to enhance firm value, but rather to reassert control and shift blame for poor performance onto employees.”
The Algorithm Insights 2024 Report The Ultimate LinkedIn™ Guide for Business Growth – Richard van der Blom & AuthoredUp
This 120 page report is free to download. It contains more information than most of us need, but it contains interesting data to help you understand what’s going on with LinkedIn.
WBL LIVE-A-Thon Event – Meller Marketing
You missed the live event, but you can get the recording and handouts from over 15 presenters about how to use LinkedIn for your job search! There are some dynamite presenters here and Brenda Meller is definitely someone to follow on LinkedIn.
CAREER
The Secret to True Self-Confidence – Inc.
We could all use a boost to our confidence (and motivation). See what the research says. But the magic happens when you take action!
