Week #3- What Color is Your Parachute Ch. 1

In the book, "What Color is your Parachute?" by Richard N. Bolles, he discuses 7 ways the job market has changed since 2008. He gives really good tips and tricks on how to get ahead in the job searching field. He pretty much says that it was a lot easier to get a job before 2008, and now its harder and a lot people are spending a lot more time searching for jobs than before. People coming straight out of college, before 2008, had an easier time getting jobs right away then people my age. There weren't as many advanced degrees like there are now. We didn't have to go to school for 8 consecutive years to get a decent job. With my degree I can't do anything with a Bachelor's degree. I automatically have to go on to a Master's program. There are certain fields that are like that, and that's why Bolles says that it takes so much time to search for jobs now.

The amount of skills a good candidate needs for a job now is astounding. Full time jobs are becoming less and less. More and more people are searching for part-time jobs. The amount of jobs are dropping simply because of artificial intelligence or robots that are doing jobs that humans used to do. He also says that job hunting is becoming more of an online thing now, which most things are. So instead of flipping through a paper you should go online and look for jobs.
