Major points of interest for those who are job-hunting:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n- The job market will continue to cool<\/a> into the winter, continuing the trend from the summer of 2022.<\/li>
- The war in Ukraine has limited countries’ access to fuel, making it more expensive to scale businesses<\/a>.<\/li>
- Employees will likely find it challenging<\/a> to keep up with layoffs occurring. A good thing to do to prepare for a changing job market is to develop a particular skill set that you can market to employers or clients. It can give you a leg up in case of layoffs or flexibility if you’re looking for freelance work.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
How do you combat this tight job market?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
By having marketable skills, you can stand out and be more employable for companies, potentially keeping you safe from layoffs. Here are the top 5 skills to have in the current job market:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Coding<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
This one is a no-brainer. Learning to code will only benefit you in an increasingly digitized and globalized world. (Psst, we’re always looking for talented developers<\/a>. See what some of our developers<\/a> love about working at Bondora.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a>2. Copywriting & Digital Marketing<\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe E-commerce industry is worth more than \u20ac842 billion<\/a>. If coding isn’t your thing, you can cash in on the significant need for digital marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a>3. Product Management<\/h3>\n\n\n\nLearning how to develop and launch a product is a valuable skill for any company that leans on tangible and digital items (as opposed to services).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a>4. Interior Design<\/h3>\n\n\n\nInterestingly, according to LinkedIn statistics<\/a>, kitchen and bathroom design have experienced a high-speed growth rate in the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a>5. Sales<\/h3>\n\n\n\nFrance, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg have experienced a great need for sales associates in 2022, according to LinkedIn data<\/a>. Italy and Spain’s retail markets have also expanded.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow are interest rates affecting the job market?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Interest rates have been rising globally this year to curb inflation. Peak inflation in Europe is projected to continue throughout the winter and into early 2023<\/a>. This increased interest means it costs more for businesses to expand, which means fewer hired employees. On a large scale, this adjustment results in a less-robust job market.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFuture career prospects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"Healthcare](\"https:\/\/investor.wptest.goandgrow.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/12\/image-1187.png\")
