The word is out. Hiring experts have collectively declared that 2022 is going to be the year of employees. There is a high demand for skilled individuals who are currently in the workforce, as well as fresh graduates who are just on the cusp of starting their career!

Many factors have contributed to this surge, but it is mostly the result of the pause in international workforce migration and the pandemic-related departures of employees. Even though international migration has started again, it's expected to take another couple of years to recover the shortfall of skilled talent entering the market.

Recently, Judo Bank economic adviser Warren Hogan, a former ANZ chief economist and university professor said,

“I’ve never in my working life as an economist seen the sort of skill shortages and excess demand for labour across all industries and all skills.” 

There has never been a better time to upskill and get the job you've always wanted. Due to the shortage of qualified candidates in so many industries, gaining in-demand skills will get you the best results faster than ever before.
 
While you are probably already aware of the need for a diverse and inclusive workforce in 2022 and beyond, here are the top trends you need to know as you begin to apply for jobs and advance your career.
 

1. VACCINATION

This is a controversial topic, however, for the employers in healthcare and education, this is almost a mandate that's now being followed. Also, a vast number of job ads on major portals have already started listing "Full vaccination" as a requirement for candidates.

2. NEGOTIATION

Due to an imbalance in demand and supply, with more employers seeking skilled labor than is available in the market, the right candidates can set their own demands and negotiate working hours, compensation and flexibility.

3. LOCATION

The biggest change that pandemic has brought is that recruiters are no longer limited to hiring from one location. Their options have increased, but so have the doors that are now open for job seekers.

4. EDUCATION 

Skills, skills and skills is the buzzword of today's economy. There has been enough discussion about the lack of skilled workers, so if you add the right skills to your profile, you can achieve an amazing career!
