I’ve owned my career management firm for 16 years ( ta-dah!) and yep, the times they have been changing…both, in the way people search for jobs and how they manage their careers. Let me be the first to say, for the most part…all positive!
Technology, of course, has completely transformed the playing field for job seekers . Remember, we started in the days when people answered ads in the newspaper, for God’s sake! We tell our clients ” the internet is the best thing that’s ever happened to job seekers and the worst…”
We can research companies and people in infinite ways on the net to better prepare for interviews and identify the culture of the organizations and people who will be interviewing us.
We can “showcase” ourselves ( wisely, please) on all social media sites to boost our profiles, attract “potential buyers” and control the way we tell our stories.
