As we arrive at the final quarter of this year, it would be worthwhile to talk about the trends that may dominate the job scenario for now and beyond. A recent report in the Times of India suggests that it will be majorly dominated by AI, sustainability, and hybrid work mode, while new cities are becoming job hubs, leading to more opportunities closer to homes. It predicted an inclination towards freelance work becoming mainstream, and hiring is predicted to become skill-based, where skills like AI.
Artificial Intelligence is here to stay, and it has been reshaping job prospects like never before. That will continue to happen even in this quarter, adding more dynamism to the nature of work, making freelancing dearer than regular office work. With the brilliance of AI, assistance from software and online tools, future professionals would prefer to work independently. Interestingly, freelance work offers one more earning than regular work, and the satisfaction is even higher. So, more professionals are switching to freelance careers, and this trend is expected to get stronger.
The report also mentions about significant shift in hiring trends as well; it is expected to become more skill-based than degree-based. With AI-dominance and technologies advancing to their best version, the demand for creative and expert human skills is expected to increase to drive the technologies for the desired results. The demand for skills for green innovation and sustainability is also expected to significantly increase.
