Job Market Trends & Who's Hiring Now
The job market is not random.
But it can feel that way when you don’t know what to watch.
Hiring moves in patterns.
One of my favorite parts of this job is to help you spot them so you can move with the market instead of against it.
Career advice only works when it matches reality.
I work hard to make sure my brilliant community can:
-
understand where hiring is increasing right now
-
see which roles and industries are opening up
-
identify companies that hire professional talent
-
adjust focus as the market shifts
This is not about chasing trends.
It’s about paying attention to signals.
What people get wrong about the job market
Many people believe:
-
hiring freezes mean no one is hiring
-
layoffs mean the market is broken
-
timing is pure luck
That leads to panic or paralysis.
The truth is simpler.
Hiring slows.
Hiring shifts.
Hiring never fully stops.
People who understand where demand is moving get hired faster.
When people struggle, it’s often because they are looking in the wrong places.
-
They apply where competition is highest.
-
They ignore roles that use different titles.
-
They wait until jobs are everywhere instead of moving early.
The strongest candidates move before the crowd.
Here are some of my favorite ideas that keep you ahead of the pack.
1. Trends matter more than headlines
One company’s layoff does not define the market.
Look for patterns across many companies.
2. Titles hide opportunity
The same work shows up under many names.
Learning alternate titles opens doors.
3. Companies hire in cycles
Hiring comes in waves.
Knowing when to push and when to wait saves energy.
4. Awareness makes you look informed
When you know who is hiring and why, you sound informed.
That changes how conversations go.

A simple way to think about this stage
Each month, ask yourself:
-
Which roles are being posted more often?
-
Which companies are growing instead of shrinking?
-
Where is competition thinning instead of increasing?
I ask these questions every week and post jobs regularly. Follow me on LinkedIn to get my most up-to-date findings.

Honestly, you can skip the rest of this and get the full process in one place.
That's exactly why I built the Career Change Accelerator™.

When you're ready, there are 2 ways I can help you:
1. The Elevated Career Change Accelerator™: Join countless educators in my core program. It’s built for folks who want a clear path out of the classroom and into corporate roles without guessing, over-applying, or wasting months trying to piece things together. Inside, you’ll work through six focused modules that cover role selection, positioning your experience, resumes, LinkedIn, interviews, negotiation, and what actually matters once you’re hired. This is the same framework I’ve refined over a decade of making this move myself and helping others do it faster and smarter.
2. 1:1 Action Planning Session: If you want direct guidance, this is a focused working session. We’ll map out exactly where you’re headed, what roles make sense for you, and the next concrete steps to take. You’ll leave with a clear plan you can execute immediately, based on your background and constraints, not generic advice.
Either option is a strong move.
Both put you on my radar and into my corporate-ready pipeline. That matters because recruiters and hiring managers regularly reach out to me when they’re trying to fill roles and want candidates who are already vetted, positioned well, and realistic about the work. As a customer, you’re invited into that pipeline by default.
