Let’s cut through the headlines.The job market in 2025 is a weird mix — some industries are booming, others are freezing hiring. AI is changing how people work. Remote roles are still here — but so are return-to-office pushes. And graduates? They’re stuck between “entry-level” and “must have 3 years’ experience.”At Spotajob, we’ve been tracking real data, hearing from recruiters, and talking to candidates. Here’s what’s actually going on — and how you can stay ahead of it.<hr><h3 class="" data-start="818" data-end="848">1. The Competition Is Back</h3>During the great resignation, job seekers had the upper hand. Now? Employers are being pickier.We’re seeing more applications per role — especially for remote jobs and anything “creative.” If you’re applying, your CV and cover letter need to be sharp, relevant, and real.<hr><h3 class="" data-start="1138" data-end="1175">2. Skills Matter More Than Titles</h3>Companies are starting to care less about “what you were” and more about “what you can do.”✅ Translating your skills across industries is a superpower right now. If you’re pivoting careers — show the overlap. Don’t let job titles limit you.<hr><h3 class="" data-start="1428" data-end="1483">3. AI Is Changing Job Descriptions — And Interviews</h3>Yes, some companies are using AI to screen CVs. Yes, some are using it to write job ads. And yes — some candidates are using it to write their answers.✅ Our advice? Use AI to prepare — not to pretend. Human hiring managers can still spot the difference.<hr><h3 class="" data-start="1753" data-end="1803">4. Remote Work Isn’t Dead — But It’s Different</h3>Some companies are calling people back in. Others are fully remote. Most? Somewhere in between.✅ Be clear about what you want. Hybrid roles are rising, but definitions vary — “2 days in” can mean “actually 5.”<hr><h3 class="" data-start="2027" data-end="2071">5.
