Here’s a summary of our discussion:

    • Jim says job seekers are still challenged with keeping skill sets current
    • Companies will automate most of their  businesses and if you don’t evolve, it will be more difficult
    • The access to information is increasing and find videos, podcasts, and ebooks to help people advance in their careers and industries
    • Those enslaved to the status quo will always fall far behind because technology always changes and evolves. As technology advances, so must you
    • Chasing money doesn’t always mean keeping up
    • Jim says working for top companies, or startups (or award-winning) keep you interested to their competitive companies and selective whenever possible
    • Indeed is a great resource outside of job postings especially to find out the hot markets and keywords, and search online occupational outlook (Bureau of Labor and Statistics)
    • Cyber-security and plumbing are two hot fields Jim recommends researching if you are looking for sustainable careers
    • Baby boomers should consider freelance (eLance or guru.com) or reach for on-demand services like Uber
