As the jobs market regains buoyancy, will this season bring a new role for you? Here are some strategies and skills to help you during a potential career transition, as well as maintaining motivation throughout your job search.

The UK is suffering from a serious skills shortage, and IT, cyber security and data roles are among some of the hardest hit. The WEF’s Future of Jobs Report 2020 states that tech-related roles account for more than half of the top 20 in-demand roles globally. Similarly, our own research shows that among the most in-demand roles post-pandemic are Data Analysts and Scientists, Cyber Security Experts, Robotics Engineers, Automation Specialists and Software and Application Developers.

The UK’s growing talent shortage continues to create challenges for employers looking to fill roles with candidates who have the right mix of experience and skills. According to our recent Skills Revolution report, nearly two-thirds (64%) of companies do not have the skills required to implement their digital transformation strategy and capitalise on growth potential.
