It is without a doubt that anyone hiring or applying for jobs will have noticed a huge change in the job market. Today, we are going to discuss how the job market has changed.

Online Applications
Previously everything would be completed in person. Visiting a store and seeing a job displayed in the window. Handing over your CV in person then being called for an in-person interview. Nowadays, everything is being completed online. With jobs being posted on sites such as Indeed. Handing over your CV online within your application. Some even offering over the phone interviews before meeting you in-person. Sometimes you will only meet your fellow workers on your first day.

Zoom Interviews
With a lot of companies working from home, you can see why interviews have become remote. With people not wanting to enter their homes during these unusual times. Zoom is a platform that allows you to have face-to-face video interviews. Allowing you to see the person hiring you before you join the company.

Fewer Jobs, More Applicants
A lot of people have been made redundant over the past year, meaning there are many more people than average desperately looking for new work. However, many companies aren’t wanting to hire new workers until things go back to normal. Meaning there are fewer jobs to apply for. This is making it more difficult to be offered a job due to the number of applicants.

It is without a doubt that the world of job applications has taken a huge change, especially over the past year. With many companies choosing to not hire new employees, making it near impossible to find new work. As well as, the whole application process is based online rather than in person. It can be a daunting time for anyone who is looking for work. Our advice would be to still try, apply for as many jobs as possible, the worst thing that can happen is they say no.
