In the year 2020, we learned that things can change when we least expect it, and this also applies to the job market.

That's because we lived in a work scheme already known for decades, in a robotic and mechanized way.

However, in the midst of an unprecedented crisis, sectors of this market have changed significantly, and what was certain has become uncertain.

So, let's talk ahead about what the market trends will be for 2021.

Professional Attitude and Behavior

To begin with, we need to understand that the adaptability It is a skill that must be developed throughout life.

This is because the fact that the individual knows how to adapt to changes, has flexibility, knows how to adapt to different scenarios, knows how to adapt to the new demands of his work area, is a decisive factor to remain in the job market.

An example of this is that in 2020, many companies needed to adapt to digital acceleration.

That is, either the companies adapted or they would go bankrupt, as well as many companies went bankrupt.

Another posture and behavior is the self-management: Within the work area itself, the worker understands what has changed within that scenario.

This skill can also be called active learning , is the ability to self-manage.

Therefore, constant learning must be part of professional development.

Another behavior is analytical thinking and innovation: is the ability to analyze information logically and broadly.

Always remembering that professional behaviors are developed in practice, and study and development of ideas are recommended.

In addition, still within this scenario, there is the behavior of creativity and initiative, which is the ability to create new projects.

The professional behavior of communication it is, in theory, the basis for all the others.

That's because, as Chacrinha already said, “those who don't communicate, trump”, hence the importance of being able to express thoughts and ideas in words.

Therefore, we can see that all these behaviors are closely linked, based on an active attitude of the professional.

So, self-knowledge could be the key to success for some people, because those who know their skills and know which ones should be improved have more chances of being successful.

And the home office continues?

Home office came to stay in 2021!

According to a survey made by the Salary Guide Robert Half 2021, human resources consultancy, the home office remains this year.

That's because, they did a survey with several companies related to the home office.

In this survey, 62% of respondents said they had a positive experience with home office work. 60% of the companies stated that they needed to make a digital adaptation.

74% of respondents want to maintain remote work within companies, whether 100% online or blended.

That is, the vast majority of companies are already predisposed to continue with this work model.

Selection and remote processes (online and in person)

Also in this matter, the vast majority of companies want to continue the processes remotely.

This is because this model, in addition to having less financial expenses, can also interview more people in less time.

Digital communication

Digital communication, also called digital literacy, is the ability to work with technological tools.

Thus, this has become one of the characteristics most sought after by companies, since with work taking place remotely, the more tools the worker knows how to use, the more optimized and faster the work will happen.

That is, tools such as skype, zoom, whatsapp, linkedin, and other words are decisive, even for work meetings.

In addition, workers also need to develop the digital etiquette for this.

This is because online communication differs from face-to-face communication, including rude posts on social networks, so be careful!

Project contracts

This trend is also expected to continue in 2021.

This is because, this contracting model makes managers spend only for specific projects, and thus, once again, save time and money.

That is, this hiring model can occur in two ways:

  1. For specific projects within a company, in which there is a need for professionals from a certain area, or;
  2. To be able to fulfill a great demand of a company.

Regardless of the reason for hiring, this model tends to continue in 2021.

To increase your chances of getting a job or opportunities as a young apprentice, internship, among others, we will give you some tips. Check out!

Give importance to your resume

The resume is your cover letter, and therefore, in a digitized world, it is important that you have it in addition to the printed and pdf version.

That's because companies are increasingly visiting candidates' social networks, including Linkedin.

So, when creating a personal presentation, remember to have your resume in pdf, in the printed version, an active linkedin profile, a power point presentation, and of course, a good list of recommendations.

Today, we know that most interviews are done online, which once again serves as a basis for the importance of having other forms of personal presentation, such as a video, for example.

The fact is, what many people do not know, is that candidates are usually eliminated, in some cases, already in the presentation of the curriculum.

Well, if a person is not capable of talking about himself, his abilities, aptitudes, personal data, how can he help in the management of a company?

So, the tip we give you is, so that you don't make a poor resume, with half a page, or a simple presentation. 

Keep in mind the new trends and skills we mentioned above, and if you don't have any experience, focus on venting your skills.

online interviews

As we mentioned, in 2021, the trend is for recruitment processes to continue online.

Thus, candidates also need to fit this model. However, most of them still do not understand that despite being online, the process remains formal.

This means that clothing needs to suit the formality of a job interview, as well as communication.

But be careful, as many candidates are only concerned with formally dressing their upper body, without thinking about unforeseen events that may occur.

So, dress as if you were really going to the company to be interviewed, train your oratory, keep personal documents close by, and above all, respect the process.

Don't wait for the crisis to pass

Another tip is about waiting until the crisis passes. Or, wait until the year is over. Or, wait until the year starts.

The tip is: Don't wait! Simply send your resume, and try for that vacancy you want to get.

This is because companies, in most cases, do not wait for a specific date to recruit if they are in need of a new employee.

However, there are exceptions depending on the work activity, but this is also relative, because it is not uncommon for a resume to draw the attention of a company, and the person to be recruited, even without a process being officially open.

So, remember to evaluate the companies' selection processes, but also go to the website of that company in your area, and send your resume there, who knows, maybe they don't know yet, but they need you?

Do not give up

Finally, our last tip is for you not to give up when you hear a no in a job selection process.

This is because maintaining constant motivation is part of every candidate, since hearing a “no” is normal and not the other way around.

So, with every “no” that crosses your path, try to understand what the reasons for the refusal were, if possible, ask the recruiters, so that you don't make them again in the next interviews.

Therefore, do not spend hours of your day regretting the refusal, but look for ways to not make those mistakes again, so that the next selections are better and the “yes” comes!
