A lot of candidates have a hard time finding jobs,<\/p>\n
And employers have a hard time finding good employees too, here\u2019s my thought on that..<\/p>\n
Employers are looking for a very long (and many times invalid) set of skills, giving what\u2019s really important a low priority.<\/p>\n
Similarly, employees are not always clear on what they enjoy doing, and most end up hating their 9 \u2013 5 jobs.<\/p>\n
The answer, IMHO, is to find what you as a candidate are passionate about and love to work on,<\/p>\n
And the employer to find our their core values and look for people sharing the same belief system and ENJOY working on that craft.<\/p>\n
E.g., it\u2019s not necessary every Java developer with 10 years of experience is passionate about working in that field (tragic really).<\/p>\n
In the linked post (below) I talk about finding what you like doing and employers finding people who align with their values.<\/p>\n
