Careers are different today

A job for life and the gold watch at retirement are memories of a gentler age.

Today, swift career transitions, redundancies, industry changes and turnkey consultancy assignments have become the status quo.

Jobseekers find themselves in a different world; a world that demands flexibility, new ideas and established networks of influential movers and shakers. A world where hires are ‘googled’ long before interview, where ‘digital dirt’ can be found from blogs to Facebook and beyond, and where qualified candidates can be sourced from a global pool of talent.

Are you ready to enter this brave new world where technology and people collide?

Gayle Howard, Master Resume Writer and Certified Personal Branding Strategist shares her expertise with you on TheExecutiveBrand.com blog. Welcome to the new world of job search.
