If you’re anxious about your prospects of landing your ideal role this year, you’re not alone. Our research revealed that over a third (36%) of job seekers find the job search stressful, largely due to uncertainty about the future. With an elevated cost of living, the pressure to find the right job is mounting.
Fortunately, hiring is on the rise in 2025, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, signaling a robust job market, which is anticipated to grow as companies refine their workforce strategies. Plus, 1.1 million workers belonging to the boomer generation retired in 2024, and more are fixing to follow as 44% of them enter retirement age. More vacancies mean more opportunities!
When you’re in the throes of the job search, enduring multiple rejections and ghostings, it can be all too easy to feel powerless.
While it’s true that there are aspects of job hunting beyond your control, it’s not a totally helpless situation. For example, use the time you’re waiting to hear from companies to build your brand and develop your skills, ensuring your showcase both on your resume, LinkedIn profile, and personal website if applicable.
Devoting your energy to things within your power will not only improve your job search but can also lift your overall mood. Try to follow a routine and take regular breaks to avoid burnout.
The job market is evolving, and adapting is necessary to stay competitive. If you’re struggling to find work, it could be worth reevaluating and expanding your search to reach high-demand industries, like construction, cybersecurity, and manufacturing where employees are in short supply.
Additionally, consider learning new, sought-after skills to help your application stand out. AI, for example, is largely responsible for changing employer needs, set to impact 70% of the skills needed for most jobs by 2030, according to a LinkedIn report. Ensuring your resume reflects the current (and future) landscape is crucial to boosting your candidacy. This adaptability will also appeal to hiring managers.
Don’t limit your job search to online applications. Instead, make yourself visible to employers by connecting with others in your field. Schedule informational interviews with would-be colleagues at organizations you’re interested in and ask about their experience at the company.
You can also reach out to internal recruiters for insights into their hiring plans or their current open roles. The more meaningful conversations you have, the more chances you have of connecting with decision makers who can help you skip the line and secure a job faster.
You don’t need to tackle the job search alone! A trusted recruitment partner can ensure you find and seize the right opportunities. Start a conversation with a consultant about what you’re looking for or browse our current openings.
