Job Hunting Report 2022

We expected 2022 to be a better year than the previous ones, but on February 24 we had to curb our expectations. What followed was a difficult year for Ukrainian professionals, and us trying to support them as much as we could. Apart from that, it was also another year of training future Career Advisors, assisting G/E/MBA graduates, and delivering major consulting projects.

Since 2012, we have been continuously collecting data on the job market with the aim of supporting experienced candidates – we are the only player in Europe that does that. Our comprehensive analyses make us well-equipped to work with professionals and guide them through the job market. This has proved more than crucial in the tumultuous year that was 2022.

“I am looking for a job that matches my experience, but outside my current industry. How do I stand out among candidates who know the industry?”, “I am looking for a job in a field in which I have no experience. How long can such a process take?“. These are very common challenges a candidate faces in a rapidly changing job market. During the fifth weekend of the Career Advisory postgraduate studies, the following topics were discussed: assessment of career goals in the context of market realities and dynamics, and Candidate Positioning – defining a client’s “unique selling proposition” on the market.

“I should change my job, but I’m not doing anything about it.”, “I need to rebrand”, “I feel like banging my head against a brick wall, I’ve stopped developing myself”, “I’m stuck and have no idea what to do next…” Sounds familiar? Sooner or later everyone is forced to face an important decision. It often comes along with resistance, fear of change, or getting outside of your comfort zone. These are our clients’ challenges, which every career consultant deals with regularly. Moreover, there are changes in trends in the job market, automation, the influence of technology, or just like it has been for some time now: a pandemic, which has changed the behaviour of the market’s players.
To be able to advise successfully, as well as support and motivate clients in making life-changing decisions, it is necessary to possess knowledge about psychology, coaching, and working with resistance.
