Internet of Things jobs poised to have a big year
• 2-minute read •
Tech had a banner year in 2016 in terms of jobs. Cybersecurity, IT and engineering all continued to grow as industries, and many tech employees got raises. So what’s in store for 2017?
In an article for Forbes, Mike Krell, an analyst at Moor Insights & Strategy, predicts a good year for the Internet of Things (IoT) industry.
So, what exactly is IoT, and does it really have its own industry?
To answer the first question, IoT refers to the connection of devices and items (beyond the usual computers, smart phones and tablets) to the internet. This includes cars, headphones, kitchen appliances and heart monitors. Ultimately, we could find ourselves living in a world where anything that can be connected will be connected.

Tech workers, your career could (literally) take flight in this industry

Just because you work in tech doesn’t mean you have to serve a life sentence in Silicon Valley if you don’t want to.
In fact, you don’t even have to work on planet Earth (theoretically speaking). The aerospace industry is doubling down (up?) when it comes to hiring high-end tech talent, targeting future recruits at a very young age.
Due to the ongoing rat race among computer, auto and digital companies to develop autonomous systems and drones (yeah, we saw that drone popcorn delivery, Amazon), companies in aerospace now have to compete with the tech titans of today for top talent, according to the Los Angeles Times. Hungry for workers, aerospace companies have begun to reach out to potential employees—as early as elementary school and pre-kindergarten—to get them interested in science and math.

People In High-Powered Jobs May Be Harder To Treat For Depression
• 2-minute read •
Depression may be harder to treat in people with high-status jobs than it is in people whose positions are on lower levels of the corporate ladder, a new study suggests.
Researchers studied how 650 people in Belgium, Italy, Israel and Austria responded to treatments for depression. About half (56 percent) of the 336 patients with high-status jobs didn’t experience fewer depressive symptoms after undergoing two rounds of different antidepressants and psychotherapy. About 40 percent of people with mid- to low-level jobs showed a poor response to the treatment, according to research presented last month at the European College of Neuropsychopharmacology Congress in Vienna.

Should You Change Jobs Now?
• 2-minute read •
Sometime during a job search, many people ask me whether they should consider a change of career. Before I answer, I always ask, "Why are you considering a change?" Their answer tends to be one of three: They can see that their old line of work is disappearing; they're no longer happy in a profession that once seemed great; or they need something their current job can't provide – more money, more opportunity, a chance to travel or have greater control over their time. I ask because the answer will help them get clear on both whether they should make a change and how to do it.

Best Jobs for Veterans

The unemployment rate for veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan was 12.1 percent in 2011, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). And young male veterans (those ages 18 to 24) have an even higher unemployment rate, or 29.1 percent, as compared to their non-veteran counterparts who held an overall unemployment rate of 17.6 percent. And compound this with the fact that veterans aged of 35 to 64, according to the BLS, make up nearly two–thirds of all unemployed veterans.

Do job seekers care about an employer's brand?
Employers might not worry much about what job seekers think about the company brand, but perhaps they should. Job seekers do care about brands, and they aren't keeping their opinions to themselves.
A new survey by Inavero highlights the role a company's employment brand plays in its ability to attract and engage potential employees.
According to the 2012 Candidate Behavior Study, 35 percent of workers begin preparing for their next job within weeks of starting a new one. Why so soon? According to Kassandra Barnes, content and research manager the explanation is simple: "The job-search process never really 'shuts off.'"
The myth of the passive job seeker
We need to get rid of the words 'active' versus 'passive,'" says Kassandra Barnes, research and content manager. "They just aren't relevant words in the job-search landscape anymore.'' Barnes is referring to the findings of Inavero's 2012 Candidate Behavior Study, which highlights the behaviors and perceptions of today's job seekers.
