For many, job stability is becoming a thing of the past. Mergers, restructuring, out-sourcing, changing technologies, shifting markets or simply a new boss with a different vision, are all sources of churn affecting today’s\u00a0job market. Old roles are being swept aside and transformations\u00a0in the economy usher in constant changes in the way work is done and who it is done by. For the individual worker the shifting world\u00a0means that there is the ever present risk that they will need to find a new role. The idea of “job for life” is pretty much gone and many working professionals are beginning to realize that the chances of them having the same role\u00a0throughout their career is falling. As a result, changing jobs is a reality many professionals will have to face one or more times in their careers.<\/p>\n

For some changing jobs many be relatively simple. If you’re working in a growth industry in which the demand for employees is exceeding demand, changing roles if the need arose may be relatively simple. For other\u00a0people changing roles may be more difficult. Although such people\u00a0may have experience that is of value in their current role, should their current role disappear, it would be harder for them to translate their experience into something of value elsewhere.<\/p>\n

The degree of difficult a person would face in finding a new role (of equivalent income and responsibility level) can be a reflection of their “employability score”. \u00a0The higher a person’s employability score the easier it would be for them\u00a0to find a role should the need arise. The lower the\u00a0score, the more trouble they\u00a0would have and the greater the chances that they\u00a0might be facing a period of unemployment or the need to take a role significantly below what they were\u00a0used to.<\/p>\n

There are many factors that might influence a person’s “employability score”. Among the factors might be considerations such as:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The demand for people with your particular skill set or\u00a0background<\/li>\n
  2. The rate of growth or contraction in your particular business sector, industry or locality<\/li>\n
  3. How widely connected you at a professional level<\/li>\n
  4. How well you present yourself<\/li>\n
  5. Your communication skills (how good your resume is and how clearly you can respond to questions in an interview)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    But ultimately those are just a minimum bar and the jobs typically\u00a0go to those who have the best experience. In the following article we look at the role projects play in building up your employability score and how proactive professionals are using projects as vehicles through which to gain new experiences and knowledge.<\/p>\n
