A 4-step guide for future-proofing your career

There’s no doubt that when global economies reopened a­fter successive lockdowns, the pent-up demand which they’d created led to an extremely talent-orientated job market as businesses scrambled for personnel to exploit the resultant bounce-back.
Accompanying this though, was increasing levels of apathy among talent pools who had begun to re-assess their priorities, with jobs and careers suddenly falling down the pecking order, meaning that quality candidates were in even shorter supply as those left­ over were now able to call the shots. However, as they say, ‘nothing lasts forever’, and with demand for talent likely to subside as economic growth eases off, it’s important to have one eye on the long-term to ensure that as things settle, you can maintain your own professional momentum.
What candidates need to consider, is how the decisions they’re making in the short-term, will impact their long-term progression. Yes, good candidates can command high salaries and have their pick of jobs, and yes, they can demand remote working and can move-on if they’re less than completely satisfied their new work environments, but when the market swings and employers start to yield greater power again, how will these career choices stack up when viewed through a less accommodating lens?
