Jobs market in XXIst century - The news in the job market

       After in the previous article I talked about the demands/offers of the employer and the employee, now I will discuss about the reasons why the demands/offers of the employer don't meet with the ones of the employee.

       I think that the main changes on the job market have as their source the development of technologies which increases at a very big rate. We live in a time where every day there are new technologies, new frameworks, new things which are the next great thing.

       And this can be a big problem because the employer will want you to know all these technologies which increase extremly fast. More than that, you have all these companies where some will use some newer technologies while others might use older technologies. So if you have an experience of 10 years in a company which may use an older technology how do you learn the new technology? I've worked in very small companies which didn't use any software development cycle. After that I got hired in a company which used the W model in software testing and their own internal strategy and tools for QA and software development. After that I got in a company who use Agile and totally diferent tools.

Jobs market in XXIst century - Employer vs employee

       I want to talk a little about the situation of the employers and employees in the XXIst century which is different than the one me and my family experienced in the XXth century. I will refer about the situation in my own country, Romania, and especially in the area I work which is IT but I think that it can apply in many other areas and countries.

       With the development of the technologies, the increase of life expectancy and life level we, as people, experience some shifting on the job market. When I was a child I dreamed to finish a college and once I finished the college I would find a good job and stay at that company for the last of my life. It was a child's view of the life of grown ups created mainly thanks to my parents who had it as a consequence of the presence of the communism in the country. Even though not everyone stays at a job for 50 years it seems to me that today it is even harder to remain at a workplace for a long period of time and even though there are so much young people to finish a college there are so few who really find a good job.

       Usually a job is occupied when the demands/offers of the employers are able to meet with the offers/demands of the employees. We can see that today something happens with this understanding between the employer and employee because it seems to me that we live in a world where employers are desperate to find employees, employees are desperate to find employers but most of the time they never meet. So I will talk about the demands/offers of the employers and the offers/demands of the employees in the first part of this article and why these demands/offers don't meet in the second part of the article.
