Keeping up with hiring trends helps you identify in-demand roles. That includes positions directly relevant to your current career path and potentially many others where you can apply valuable, transferable skills.

Hiring trends regularly change from year to year, and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the pace of some shifts and emerging opportunities. If you're considering a career change or are actively in the process of making one, understanding which sectors and roles have increased demand for staff is especially valuable.
