5 Emerging Trends for Job Seekers
Who would have thought ten years ago we would be submitting our resumes by Internet and conducting cross-country interviews via Skype? From social media to the evolution of how we connect with hiring managers and the growing use of applicant tracking systems, job seekers are finding new trends in the ways they conduct everything from their searches to the interviews. Candidates need to be prepared as things will continue to evolve, giving both employers and the potential employee innovative ways to find and interact with one another. Here are five emerging trends that will impact job seekers.

Done well, a hiring manager or recruiter could know everything they need to before picking up the phone for the interview.
