Women’s Career Paths Will Zig and Zag
58% of women describe their career path as “nonlinear,” and nearly 90% of women executives and managers shift careers in midlife.
As women and younger workers look for new ways to blend work, family and other life pursuits, the career ladder will gave way to a labyrinth of stops, starts, and lateral moves.
Career Credentials Will Be Under Real-time Scrutiny
Instant fact-checking and counter-claims on social media are not just limited to political scandals and natural disasters.
Lying on your resume can hamper your job prospects, but some studies indicate more than 40% of employment applications contain false credentials.
Today’s workers must present themselves factually and appropriately online, and provide proper attribution for their work.
Women Will Use Their Tech-savvy at Work and Home
A look at technology adoption among women, including in the over-50 age group, smashes the stereotype of men as the primary techies.
Women spend 30% more time on social networking sites than men, and mobile social usage is 55% female.
Women will increasingly lean on high-tech help to start businesses, enter STEM fields, and manage home-related tasks.
Work and Education Will Intertwine
The competition for skilled workers provides an incentive to keep learning, on and off the job.
Workers will pursue certifications, degrees, technical training, and leadership development to keep their skills current, and will look for internships, apprenticeships, and job rotations to gain hands-on experience.
