In this post, we\u2019re going to look at three practical ways that you can build a successful career in the new – and, with the right approach, better – normal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Understand Trends and Transformations in the Labour Market <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
While economic predictions and forecasts are generally discouraging, it\u2019s not all doom and gloom. Several sectors have seen increased growth and a rising number of job openings<\/a>, andindividuals planning a career in a post-COVID-19 world should consider moving into one of these areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is a quick overview of job sectors that have seen significant growth: <\/p>\n\n\n\n The jobs market is subject to ongoing changes. Keeping up-to-date with emerging and fast-growing sectors will enable you to identify the best possible opportunities, and to develop your career plan accordingly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Candidates who want to find their ideal job shouldn\u2019t rely exclusively on job search engines. Nowadays, employers advertise open positions across a myriad of platforms, including social media, niche job boards and via their websites. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Broadening your search will give you the best possible access to job opportunities while enabling you to build a comprehensive understanding of what businesses are looking for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are three places to look for jobs in addition to search engines like Indeed and Glassdoor: <\/p>\n\n\n\n In a presentation given to EU Business School, recruitment expert Dr. Nuria Soler Aguilar<\/a> talked about how a growing number of employers are looking for candidates with skills uniquely suited to a post-COVID-19 workplace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n These include the abilities to undertake self-guided learning, work collaboratively as part of a remote team, and use digital technologies and cloud-based infrastructure. You should consider enrolling in online courses <\/a>and education programs, many of which are available for free and only take days or weeks to complete, to develop additional proficiencies that will make your overall skillset more attractive to employers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr. Aguilar was also keen to point out that those seeking a jobshould recognize that there will be increased competition from other individuals, with perhaps hundreds of applicants to a single job. Because of this, it is absolutely vital that candidates learn how to interview well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Are you excited by the prospect of a career in business, perhaps in one of the sectors that have seen rapid growth over the last year? If the answer to that question is \u201cyes\u201d, then a degree from EU Business School will provide you with all the skills, experience and knowledge that you need to excel in your chosen profession. Now more than at any other point in history, businesses need dedicated, talented leaders to navigate an uncertain and fast-changing economic landscape. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We offer courses across a range of highly specialized subjects, including bachelo’s, master’s and MBA degrees. Students also have the opportunity to choose between campuses in several of Europe\u2019s leading business hubs<\/a>, including Geneva, Munich and Barcelona. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Nobody knows exactly what the global economy will look like in the months and years after the COVID-19 pandemic passes. One thing however, is certain. Large parts of everyday and working life will change irreversibly. The phrase \u201cnew normal\u201d has become popular over the last year because it accurately describes the kind of sudden and dramatically altered status quo that societies all over the planet are expecting to emerge. People thinking about their careers are in a tricky position. While economic forecasts are, on the whole, relatively pessimistic, there are also many opportunities.
