“Believe you can and you’re halfway there.” by Theodore Roosevelt
LMGTFY: Theodore Roosevelt Jr. (1858 – 1919), American politician, who served as the 26th president of the United States and 25th vice president. Roosevelt emerged as a leader of the Republican Party and became a driving force for the anti-trust policy in the early 20th century. His face is depicted on Mount Rushmore alongside Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln.

Because of how we work when supporting our clients, we have a very unique “glimpse” into how over 5000 Executive Search companies and almost 20 000 decision makers react – the majority of which being located in Europe; and we collect and analyze how they respond; and we observe if and what kind of trends there are to leverage them into better career management & more effective job search methods.
Before there are trends, there are signals which we usually keep to ourselves. But these are not usual times, so we decided to share those market signals by the end of each week. If the country / context is important, we’ll add them. Otherwise, we’ll keep it general for confidentiality.
Before there are trends, there are signals! One KPI that Career Angels track to observe changes on the job market is the number of published job ads on LinkedIn.
Nie ma znaczenia, kim chcesz zostać „kiedy dorośniesz”.
Nie ma znaczenia, jeśli nie wiesz, co chcesz robić po studiach.
Nie ma znaczenia, jeśli wiesz czego chcesz, ale nie ma to nic wspólnego z tą pracą.
Nie ma znaczenia, gdzie i co studiujesz.
Nie ma znaczenia, gdzie mieszkasz, jeśli tylko masz dobre połączenie z Internetem.
Niezależnie od tego, jaki zawód lub jaką ścieżkę kariery wybierzesz, jest jedna rzecz, która ma wpływ na to, czy odniesiesz sukces. Jeden wspólny mianownik, który określi, czy będziesz miał satysfakcjonującą karierę. To wiedza o rynku pracy. Innymi słowy, wiedza o tym, jak:
Have you ever googled anyone? Yourself? Every detail on the Internet can work in favor of or against you. You want the former. From a career perspective, having a professional profile on LinkedIn is no longer an option, it’s a must. As seasoned managers and executives, rethinking your own / professional branding is key to your success.
The Warsaw School of Technology Business School invited Sandra Bichl from Career Angels to share tips and trick about LinkedIn.
During the lecture you will learn how to:
This summer is extraordinary – it’s “closed” for regular holidays, BUT open for your job search! 53% of monitored European countries have published more job ads in Week 32 than in Week 15! Go ahead and apply!
Depending on the country, the government reactions to CV-19 (e.g. from no to partial to full lock-down) started at different moments during the first quarter of 2020. Consequently, the job markets (and its players) responded in their own manner and timing.
Given the nature of our work at Career Angels, we are very close to the job market and its decision makers; and everybody we spoke to (almost 500 board members across Europe) had a different opinion and reaction early on, as well as during the 20 weeks that followed. But opinions are just that – personal impressions and interpretations.
We, therefore, felt the need to find a KPI that better reflected how the various job markets reacted. The moment we realized that CV-19 was not a temporary phenomenon, but a temporarily permanent one, we chose to track the number of published job ads on LinkedIn which is an actual indicator of demand on the visible job market. And even though it’s not a perfect KPI, as e.g. some companies decided to move their job ads to cheaper local platforms, it still gives a quite good feel of how confident companies feel about the further market development.
