What News is Shaping Job Search in 2023 With Jack Kelly by Mark Anthony Dyson

Does news shape your job search? It’s possible, but not to a large extent if you’re strategic. Jack Kelly joins me in how news impacts the 2023 job search and what it will mean for job seekers.

Show overview:

Inflation: How to stand out in a recessionary job market?
Why quiet quitting and acting on your wage is terrible advice in an economic downturn?
Doing due diligence in your job search.
Some highlights from our discussion:
  • Jack said, “I’m noticing this kind of contagion effect where it gives CEO C-Suite people to say we may, even if we don’t need to cut costs, they’re thinking maybe we should use what’s going on as a cover. and we could lay off the low performers.”
  • I said, “…They (tech companies) always copy whatever the trend. So two or three start. There’s always the ones that trigger other companies doing it.”
  • ChatGPT software and how artificial intelligence will impact the workforce in 2023.
  • The job market will continue with dynamic movement. They’ll need constant reconfiguring of skills and their place in the marketplace.
  • Job hopping may slow down, but it is a strategy rather than a fad.
  • Jack: “It’s gonna take a while to get it down from 7% to the Fed wants 2%. And the way they’re doing it is by putting cold water on the economy and cold water on the job market and having people out of work, which is so messed up when you think about it. The Fed who missed in inflation saying it was only transitory, screwed it up.”

Jack Kelly, Compliance Recruiter, entrepreneur, CEO of WeCruitr.io, and Forbes Senior Careers Contributor. He talks a lot about the Future of Work, especially regarding job search.

Talking Layoffs with The TrapRecruiter by Mark Anthony Dyson

 

The tables turn for this special episode as I serve as a guest on “The Trap Recruiter Show” with my friend and fall co-host, Keirsten Greggs. She asks the questions, and I answer them.

Here are a few of the highlights from our discussion:

  • We spend some time discussing the reason for this round of layoffs.
  • How carefully must job seekers navigate examining their layoff experience (good or bad) online?
  • Are layoffs a reaction to the economy and conversion to call center automation?
  • Not every company is like Meta in getting generous separation compensation/benefit packages.
  • The “survivor” effect of those not laid off but affected by the aftermath of their separated coworkers.
  • Attending conferences as a job seeker puts you in touch with recruiters, employers, and peers.
