I also present at colleges and other organizations, facilitated many workshops, and regularly write and create useful job search content on this blog. 

I love helping job seekers with the process of finding a career and solve their job search dilemmas. This award-winning blog helps me reach you and your job search in ways I hope you find refreshing and encouraging.

What News is Shaping Job Search in 2023 With Jack Kelly

Jan 17, 2023

Does news shape your job search? It's possible, but not to a large extent if you're strategic. Jack Kelly joins me in how news impacts the 2023 job search and what it will mean for job seekers.

Show overview:

Inflation: How to stand out in a recessionary job market?
Why quiet quitting and acting on your wage is terrible advice in an economic downturn?
Doing due diligence in your job search.
 
Some highlights from our discussion:
 
  • Jack said, "I'm noticing this kind of contagion effect where it gives CEO C-Suite people to say we may, even if we don't need to cut costs, they're thinking maybe we should use what's going on as a cover. and we could lay off the low performers."
  • I said, "...They (tech companies) always copy whatever the trend. So two or three start. There's always the ones that trigger other companies doing it."
  • ChapGPT software and how artificial intelligence will impact the workforce in 2023.
  • The job market will continue with dynamic movement. They'll need constant reconfiguring of skills and their place in the marketplace.
  • Job hopping may slow, but it is a strategy rather than a fad.
  • Jack: "It's gonna take a while to get it down from 7% to the Fed wants 2%. And the way they're doing it is by putting cold water on the economy and cold water on the job market and having people out of work, which is so messed up when you think about it. The Fed who missed in inflation saying it was only transitory, screwed it up."
