Because we’re undergoing an entire transformation globally, you as a job seeker are feeling the effects. It’s in the way you approach everything from finding a job opening to filling out an application and going for an interview.

Nothing is the way it was just ten years ago, and the advice you get about career searching should reflect those changes.
