The New IT Job Market: Trends and How to Adapt from an IT Recruiter's Perspective

Let’s face it; today’s job market is tough! If you’re in transition, and actively seeking employment, you know this all too well. Traditionally, Information Technology positions seemed exempt from major layoffs and downsizing job cuts. We’ve learned over recent months that jobs in the IT industry are just as much at risk as jobs being cut from other industries. The good news is, not only are the IT job losses less drastic than the other areas, the IT jobs are being targeted and created in strategic industry segments.

We already know that IT is in a continuously changing state, so what does the industry look like now, where is it heading, and how do we move our careers forward in alignment with the trends? Even if on a different path and a with different view of the skills we have to offer, we can successfully transition into today’s market and land great opportunities.
