So, for this week, I would like to talk about the competition for remote job positions.

Focus here on remote jobs in the United States and the general nature of remote jobs; your specific field and a different location in the world may make it easier for you to find a remote job position.

When you read content on the Internet or hear a news story, you will learn about organizations that decide to have people end their remote job positions and come back to the office.

In an article from the AP (The Associated Press) called “Facing stiff competition, remote workers up their game” by Cathy Bussewitz, the author talked about how competition for remote job positions is more competitive in 2025.

One suggestion the article gives to people seeking remote opportunities is to look for opportunities in the field where you are currently working and are an expert; rather than trying to compete in other fields where you would be new to the field and competing against job applicants who have experience in that field.

The link to the article is here

https://apnews.com/article/finding-remote-jobs-employment-tips-76a61cc6a646493dc3f5e0bfa733160c

If you do a Google search asking the question

“Is the competition for full-time remote job positions harder to get in 2025?”

The A.I. part of the answer to Google search mentioned that it is indeed more challenging to find full-time remote job positions in 2025.

The A.I. mentioned that many people desire the ability to work remotely full-time.

The A.I. mentioned that the supply of full–time remote positions was in decline, while the supply of applicants wanting full–time remote employment is going up.

The article gave some suggestions for people looking for full-time remote work. For example, see if it is possible to take your current job and do it remotely.

You may face competition from hundreds or even thousands of other people applying for the same full-time remote job position.

Here are some ideas

• Will a hybrid position work for you?
• You may find less competition for jobs if a hybrid position works for you.
• A hybrid position where you go to a work location part of the time, and the other part of the time you work from your home.
• Apply to firms directly in your industry and see if they have remote opportunities.
• Sometimes you can show an interest in opportunities even if you do not see a job position listed.
• Informational interviews with people doing the work you want to do remotely.
• See if you can talk to people doing the type of work you want to do, and who are working remotely. Talk to people who are working full-time remotely in the fields you are interested in.
• An informational interview is where you talk to a person in a profession you are interested in for a short period, and you ask that person questions about that profession. Be aware that informational interviews are not places to ask for opportunities; informational interviews are for the information.
• You may learn from others about how they got a remote job position.
• One place to find contact names for informational interviews is LinkedIn.
• Career experts
• You may find remote opportunities by asking career experts about how to improve your job search.
• Get additional training
• You may find that getting further training in an area may help you find a remote job position.

If you find in your field that the competition for remote jobs is highly competitive, take a “pause” in your search and look at the field of remote employment at a later time to see if the opportunities may be better in the future.

During your pause, you may (if you wish) get an additional education in another career field.

Remote jobs can have many advantages for the job seeker. You may find options that are not possible in a non-remote job position.

This week, like to talk about technology change and career change.

I heard the CEO of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, talk about career change.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman mentioned that in 10 years from now; college graduates (or at least some of them anyway) may work in space with a totally new job position and earn a high salary.

The quote I found on career change

“In 2035, that graduating college student, if they still go to college at all, could very well be leaving on a mission to explore the solar system on a spaceship in some completely new, exciting, super well-paid, super interesting job,” (from Yahoo Tech Fortune article; the link to the specific article is https://tech.yahoo.com/ai/articles/openai-ceo-sam-altman-says-151944949.html)

The quote reminds me that careers go through career changes.

But I wonder if the career change rate is going faster and faster.

In my understanding, technology change can sometimes resemble an explosion.

Not only is technology change occurring in our society–but the rate of technology change is occurring faster and faster.

If you compared technology change to a snowball going down a hill, the snowball would become larger and larger as the snowball is going down the hill faster and faster.

With technology such as A.I., career changes may occur faster, as some careers disappear and others appear. Some careers may no longer exist in the future, and new careers will develop that we never heard of before. Careers may change at a rapid rate.

Career changes may occur at a quick rate. Change will be a consistent element in the coming years related to careers.

Now I like to get your thoughts

What do you think about technology change and career change?

This week, I would like to explore career association websites.

Career associations can help people explore a career and find professional opportunities in that career field. Career associations are people in a particular career who gather to learn and support each other.

A career association may have a website.

I like to focus on career-association websites.

Some things a career association website can do are:

• Give content information about that profession
• (and one side advantage is that this information is likely to be up to date)
• Might find information to help you with informational interviews.
• (An informational interview where you talk to a person in that profession to learn more about that profession)
• May help you find opportunities in that profession.
• You may find job positions (for example) advertised on a career association web site–giving the opportunities in that career.
• May find information on how competitive a career.

Example American Marketing Association

You can find one example of a profession’s competitiveness on the American Marketing Association career website.

If you go to the American Marketing Association career website at www.ama.org

Then click the link “Job Boards” (link towards the top part of the computer screen if you have a laptop computer screen)

You have a menu of options that appears; you can then select the choice that says “Marketing Job Board. “

You can then see jobs in the marketing profession.

You can have a “Job Board Snapshot” where you can see the number of employers and job seekers.

You may find a wide variety of information on a career association website. You may find your next opportunity on a career association website.
