Trend #1
It’s easier than ever to access people you don’t know
Don’t just use social media; use it strategically Prioritize building your online network so it’s there
when you need it Be smart about how you pitch – for a job, a story, a
coffee – to gain trust through that person’s medium

Trend #2
Job-hopping will no longer
kill your career
Switch jobs if it helps you learn and grow Be able to explain that switch to a hiring manager Employers want go-getters

Trend #3
Full-time jobs aren’t necessarily the best route
Where’s the stability now? How can you do work you love? Thinking outside the box = the key Hail the side gig
