\"\"We have covered hiring trends from Career Builder and Monster, but what about Forbes<\/em>?<\/p>\n

The Job Market in 2018 will feel slightly different from years past, being that unemployment is lower than it\u2019s been since 2000. Don\u2019t worry recruiters, there are still plenty of job seekers ready to make a move and plenty of companies playing musical chairs with employees. New businesses are popping up left and right as our country continues a massive growth spurt. The Tech Market is booming, Salary increases are on the horizon, and best of all, this year is all about you and your future.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to remember that these are predictions.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s begin with the most popular topic in today\u2019s Job Market, Artificial Intelligence.<\/p>\n

Will AI Steal Everyone\u2019s Job This Year?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The short answer is \u201cNo.\u201d The longer answer is, \u201cNot Yet.\u201d Whether you drive a Tesla or not, AI is everywhere. Marissa Peretz, founder of Silicon Beach Talent, explains the trends of AI: “(Artificial Intelligence) already has a profound effect on your day to day life, but you will probably continue to not notice much of a difference, especially in 2018.” Regarding the job market, creative and management jobs are still largely unaffected by AI. In fact, this technology has created new opportunities in the fields of self-driving\u001b cars, hardware and biotech.<\/p>\n

That, of course, leaves a ton of other industries. One in particular comes to mind with the soft opening of Amazon\u2019s new Amazon Go, a convenience store with no cashiers, no lines, no hassle. It should definitely be noted that the cashier vertical could be one of the first to diminish. Again, like I said, these are predictions. Although this one may not be as much of a hypothesis as others.<\/p>\n

Money is the Persuasion<\/strong><\/p>\n

More money for all. Well, not everyone. The prediction here is that wages will increase. Statistically, unemployment is lower, meaning those who are in-fact looking to make a career move are going to ask for more money, and employers will pay up. \u201cCandidates who are excellent at programming and user experience (UX) designers of all kinds will have their pick of lucrative opportunities if they are up for making a move,\u201d said Elatia Abate, entrepreneur and former Global Director, Talent Acquisition Dow Jones & Wall Street Journal and Anheuser-Busch InBev. \u201cAll of this is thanks to the perfect storm of low unemployment and accelerated need for these kinds of professionals.\u201d<\/p>\n

His and Her Salary<\/strong><\/p>\n

The prediction: We will make large strides towards compensation equality between everyone. If 2017 was the year we realized we still have a problem with workplace bias, 2018 could be the year to fix it. \u201cCorporate headlines in 2017 painted a clear picture: gender inequality remains a hot issue everywhere from Silicon Valley to the silver screen,\u201d said Jewell Parkinson, Head of HR at SAP North America. \u201cThe conversation these stories sparked has raised awareness for change \u2013 and in 2018, companies will take proactive measures to demonstrate greater transparency to show, rather than tell, how they\u2019re building cultures that are part of the solution.\u201d<\/p>\n

Your Career in 2018 is Really Up to You<\/strong><\/p>\n

Peretz says it best, \u201cWe live in an age of increased availability of information. We can read reviews of companies before we interview, we can study emerging industries and apply for jobs that really make an impact. Job Seekers can easily find a recruiter or an insider to give us honest insight about a company\u2019s culture and structure. We can even find a calculator to determine how an offer might be impacted by the new 2018 tax laws. However, the more things change, the more some things stay the same. Your career success in 2018 will still depend on the human relationships you build and the work product you create. Those are timeless.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
