From the perspective of a leader in the outplacement space, the article "The New Unemployables: A Scary Future" underscores the critical need for comprehensive, adaptable support in today's challenging job market. The emergence of a new group of "unemployables" - skilled professionals struggling to find work even in a robust economy - highlights the inadequacy of traditional job search methods. Factors such as talent hoarding, job consolidation, and the anticipated impact of AI have created a perfect storm, leaving many job seekers feeling burned out and unprepared for the new realities of the job market. https://lnkd.in/efj_6JZR As a holistic outplacement provider, Meridian Resources offers dedicated coaching without time limits which is invaluable.

This holistic, sustained support is essential in helping professionals adapt to industry-specific trends, overcome job search burnout, and ultimately succeed in a rapidly evolving employment landscape.

This hits home as I was a very recent causality of lack of contractor funding. And the role itself was the only position I was effectively offered a year ago while unemployed. It is discouraging and difficult to remain actively hunting when we seemingly have done what was asked of us as employees with the belief that we would have some longevity secured. There seems to be no security in any sized company or industry left anymore based on what you see just posted on LinkedIn. As for the comment on not posting the “open to work” banner on LinkedIn: experts have been touting that the only differentiator that can help in the current job market is networking. This banner may be crude but it does inform the potential hundreds of connections on one platform that you're in search of support. Those who are spending more time waiting for their next opportunity (=paycheck) can't chose to be selective about how we network.
