The job market has dramatically shifted from the employee-friendly Great Resignation era to a period of "frozen" and "ghost" jobs that waste applicants' time. Our expert panel explores this pendulum swing and provides strategies for navigating today's challenging employment landscape.
• Understanding the difference between frozen jobs (real positions not being filled) and ghost jobs (positions that don't actually exist)
• How corporations are reclaiming power in the hiring process after post-pandemic over-hiring
• The role of AI in potentially making the ghost job problem worse by automating deceptive listings
• Why networking remains the #1 strategy for finding legitimate job opportunities
• The importance of skill diversification to avoid becoming a vulnerable "unitasker"
• Recognizing that economic cycles affect hiring, and how to position yourself for when conditions improve
• Strategic questions to ask during interviews to determine if a job posting is legitimate
• Why sometimes taking a calculated risk or temporary pay cut can lead to better long-term career outcomes
• The value of prioritizing time and career growth over waiting for perfect economic conditions
