5 Trends that will shape the labour market landscape 
 

 

According to Tom Turpin, Randstad Canada there are many factors shaping the year ahead for businesses and their employees across Canada. Falling oil prices are expected to continue for some time; consumers and government will carry even deeper debt loads and Generation Z will begin entering the job market while Boomerang Boomers continue to fill the void in various skilled trades. 

Companies, employees and job seekers should all be paying close attention to these trends;

1. Canada to see movement from West to East

2. Technical fields will be in high demand

3. Skills gap and youth unemployment will remain a challenge

4. Employers want an all in one employee

5. Gen-Z will bring in changes in the workplace

Top Five Tips for Staying Positive while Job Searching!  


1. Create a daily job search routine

If possible, treat your job search like a 9:00 to 5:00 job. Wake up early, take a lunch break and end your job search activities before dinner. By creating a regular routine and keeping your job search organized you are helping yourself stay focused and motivated. 

2. Find time NOT to think about your job search
It can be easy to always have your job search at the back of your mind. It's an important task and it requires a lot of time, however, excessive worrying can only increase your stress. Be sure to enjoy other aspects of your life and set time aside to do something you enjoy doing. Going for a walk can be an excellent way to de-stress! 

3. Set Reasonable, Concrete Goals 
Concentrating on keeping a list of specific, manageable goals that you would like to achieve is a great way of starting the week. By focusing on smaller achievable goals you will feel more accomplished throughout your job search process. 

4. Celebrate small victories
It can be difficult to focus on the positives when your busy focusing on the negatives such as the interview you didn't land. Instead, focus on the smaller wins! Be proud of yourself for getting a phone interview or when you connect with a new contact on LinkedIn. Celebrating these smaller wins will help you stay positive and keep an open mind.  

5. Focus on your positives
While job searching it is important to make a list of your best qualities, skills and accomplishments. This list will help you create your cover letters, resumes and also help you practice for a job interview. This list is also a great reminder of what makes you a successful job candidate for the position your applying for and will help boost your confidence during this job search process.
