Why is that we tend to view cynically when concerned
with future? Why cant the way forward be brilliant. The search for the
predictions for 2017 yielded so many results that it was difficult which to
discard. But something that met the eye was
‘Will It Be Easy to Find a Job in 2017?’
Finding a job , in the present scenario,
packed with aspirants and applicants by the horde whereby the supply greatly exceeds the demand, is compounded in
its woes with automation leading from the front. A bellwether company in the
south asia has actually ‘released’
9,000 employees because of automation. So battling out with other contenders
for a key slot is going to be tough, and to qualify will be a major hurdle. The
recruiters are smart to skim the top talent. The important question is: will
you find your resume in that short list?
It’s good to greet with good news. Some of
the predictions stated were on a promising note
“Tech jobs will continue to boom”, “Responsible workers will be in
demand”, and “Hiring will be up for new grads.” Now if that fails to sound
positive, what else then? These are all
predictions and not prescient. So take it at face value and look into the future
with renewed hope and rekindled spirit. As is the want in any case, preparation
is the key.
Its very much evident that in a fiercely
competitive market, acute shortage of skill and desired talent for the
demanding roles that comes with lucrative packages and high slaries, 2017 is
expected to witness the same trends of ot the previous year. Clearly, data
security, big data and cloud technologies emerge on the top. With massive
breaches at Yahoo announced last December, security is a major
concern, and at the same time presents a great opportunity to make good. Big
Data dominated the news in recent times as “weaponized,
it is essential that you reskill, reinvent and reboot.
The opportunities are plenty. Be optimistic.
