It’s a new year, and for a lot of people, that means an attempt at making a change. For some, it’s a commitment to the gym, a new diet, or picking up a language or another useful skill. Of course, we all know those changes seldom last. Ready to make one that does last, and has positive repercussions for the rest of your life? Many people haven’t realized it yet, but now is a terrific time to be looking for a new job as the market for in-demand jobs is increasingly oversaturated.
I know, the negative election news cycle may have you feeling pessimistic about the economy, but the numbers don’t lie. We’ve got the lowest unemployment rate in 10 years, and the highest number of people employed. Employers, meanwhile, are in a tight spot.
