Everyone wants the job of the future and a recession-proof career. Unfortunately, the robots are coming for us – or are they? A study from the McKinsey Global Institute that measured the "automatability" of more than 800 jobs found that some jobs may be completely automatable, but many more are only partially replaceable. Jobs that require high emotional intelligence, creativity, and physical dexterity are much harder to automate. It ... Source: Recruiter

Don't think LinkedIn matters for your job search? Think again. A 2016 Jobvite survey found that 87 percent of recruiters use LinkedIn to source and vet candidates. Times change.

Once, during the question and answer session following a keynote speech of mine, a rather dignified and well-dressed gentleman vigorously raised his hand. His body language seemed uncomfortable and angry. Of course, he was my first pick. The man asked, "What do you have to tell these young people who want to pursue a 'feel good' degree like environmental science?" I paused for quite a long time, allowing the question to sink into the audience. Then, I answered: "Well, actually, ... Source: Recruiter

If you're a recent grad still struggling to find that first post-college opportunity, never fear! You don't have to move back in with your parents. You don't have to resort to eating nothing but ramen noodles and macaroni and cheese (the off-brand stuff, not the good stuff). You don't have to scrape your way through the rest of the year in an unpaid internship just to "get experience" and build a professional network. If you follow these tips, you'll not only ...

My two daughters used to love writing. My oldest preferred expository writing, while my youngest loved dabbling in creative writing, primarily poetry that had taken on an inner-angst slant. I loved reading their essays and stories. Proofreading and editing them was a pleasure. My youngest daughter once asked me if I write. I told her that I do. She asked if I write for work. This was a tough question to answer. I don't get paid for blogging, but I see ... Source: Recruiter

Frenzy is one of the major obstacles preventing people from leading engaged, happy, and fulfilled lives personally and professionally. Between our increased workloads and the constant access we have to one another thanks to technology, we're too busy to really connect in meaningful ways or take care of ourselves. As a result, we don't listen intently, pay attention to our peers, (genuinely) smile at our customers, or find the right ... Source: Recruiter

One of the most common questions I get from job seekers is, "How long should my job search really take?" It's a good question: Knowing what's "normal" can help you determine whether you're on the right track or in need of a course correction. Unfortunately, there is no normal when it comes to the job search. Some job offers show up in days, others may take months, and for a few, ... Source: Recruiter

"Survival" and "predictability" were the primary career standards in the obsolete workplace. In that setting, it wasn't necessary to adopt a vision beyond getting a job that provided these basic requirements. Today, this mindset continues to undermine the potential for greater engagement. But there is also another, more pressing reason why we need to change out personal visions. We need deeply personal and compelling visions to snap out of the "... Source: Recruiter
