Jobs in the past

Some time ago, people did not have many choices about their jobs. They usually worked near their hometown and they often stayed in one job for their whole life. They worked with fixed hours in fixed places and did not have much need to develop new skills.

Present jobs

Now people have much more choice. They can choose to work in other towns or cities and some may even work in other countries. Also, it is common for people to change jobs and by doing so, they can have different work experiences. On the other hand, with increasing competition in the job market, most people want to, and often need to, develop new job skills.

Jobs in the future

In the future, more people will be able to sell their skills and services to many different companies instead of working for one company for many years. More people will work from home. They will also need to work with people they never meet in person. And there will be many other changes we cannot imagine now. All of these changes mean that there will be more competition from people all over the world for tomorrow's jobs. Are you ready for the future?
