LinkedIn has introduced a new online Jobs Bootcamp to help job seekers build key skills.
According to the company’s research, two out of three white collar employees are considering changing jobs this year.
Their study of 1,000 professionals found that the pandemic deterred many people from changing jobs due to uncertainty, and that one in four feel they have missed out on additional earnings since March 2020.
According to the study: “Almost three quarters of workers with careers of up to two years are considering changing jobs in 2022. Similarly, 65% of professionals with careers of one or two years feel confident enough to push for a promotion or new job opportunities at work.”
The Jobs Bootcamp is a programme of content and live events that will offer practical career advice and job seeking tips from experts. Courses span Creating Great First Impressions, Video Interview Tips, Finding a Remote Job, and Finding a Job at Companies That Embrace Diversity and Inclusion, to name a few. These courses are available free until February 1.
