A new career development landscape

What long-term impact will remote working have on our understanding of career opportunities and career paths in our chosen fields?

This is one of the big questions that I’m on a quest to try and answer in 2021. It’s also one of the reasons why you haven’t been seeing much of me these past several months. ;)

At the beginning of the pandemic, as I watched hiring managers and recruiters shift gears in their immediate priorities for job candidates, it became clear that I needed to also shift gears in how I did my work as a resume writer.

Lately, as I’ve been sitting at my desk and pouring through job posting after job posting, I’ve been feeling a vague itch in the back of my mind that another shift is getting ready to take place.

I believe that the pandemic and subsequent evolution of remote work culture is going to permanently change the career progression/career development landscape. 

But my big question is how? 

To try and answer this question, I’m seeking out thought leaders in recruitment and HR for their insights on the future of career development. I’ve been doing quite a bit of reading and digging on the internet for clues. I’ve enrolled myself in a program to help me explore this question. (More details on this soon.) 

Because of how tough this one is going to be to wrap our heads around, I have a feeling that this will turn into a project that goes on for many, many years. ;) 

However, I believe strongly in this work. I believe that by tackling this question, I’ll be doing a service to my future job seekers and industry professionals ready to take the next step in their careers. 

Thoughts?
