Your next job doesn’t exist yet
POV: you’ve just landed a great job in tech, only to find out that in a few years, the very role you’re doing now, may no longer exist. Take a moment to digest that. Here’s the thing, the world of work is moving faster than ever - with the tech sector leading the charge. Did you know that by 2025, we’re looking at the possibility of 97 million new jobs being created - worldwide. Like with everything - there’s a catch, yes the prospect of new roles are very exciting, but we can’t ignore the ushering of the old to make way for the new, and realistically, what that means for you right now.
According to the Future of Jobs Report from the World Economic Forum, automation and AI are shaking things up in a big way, with ‘must hire’ roles such as AI specialists and Data Scientists topping the list. Nearly 85 million jobs will disappear as advancements in automation and AI continue to take over repetitive everyday tasks. As an employee or potential jobseeker it means rethinking how you add value with your experience and leadership, to future-proof your skills and team.
While the bigger picture can feel like a shifting puzzle, it’s key to look through the clutter to focus on impactful avenues that can help both jobseekers and companies rise to the top, in a very competitive market.
Put yourself in the shoes of today’s CIOs, CTOs and hiring managers - it's a bun fight trying to find and keep skilled tech talent, with local companies losing the talent war to the Pound, the Euro and the Dollar. While skills and cultural fit are a must, companies' expectations of jobseekers have also increased, out of the need to build resilient teams agile enough to thrive in fast-paced and unpredictable environments.
On the flip side for jobseekers, the tech industry is packed with opportunities, but staying ahead is the real challenge. To stay relevant, it's advisable to invest in your skill development, explore new qualifications or learn something new that adds colour to your career growth, it can truly set you apart. With tech job openings growing by 15% by 2031, there’s no shortage of opportunity, but jobseekers have got to be ready to meet and rise above the real skill and experience challenges that come with this explosive growth.
