It is impossible to predict the future, we know that, but that does not mean that you can not interpret it according to the events of our day-to-day. The world is constantly undergoing modifications that interfere directly or indirectly in society and to take advantage of these changes in the best way we have to think in a visionary way, trying to see which way the market will be in ten years.”At first glance this seems long period, however, only looks. The information and communication technologies have brought great mobility and speed, making the daily time seems to have been shrunk: A decade passes in a blink of eyes,”says Magdalena Feliciano, project director of Outliers Careers.

In 2020, for example, the setting of the labor market in Brazil and the world will be another, and it is important to be prepared now to what comes around – or you risk being left behind. Because of this, Magdalene speaks about some actions that can be taken to follow the market – and why not throw trend?

“The main tip I offer is: know what you want out of life – and for this, practice your self. How to do this? Taking the reins of his career, exercising curiosity, following trends and trying to anticipate them. Always tuned, upgraded and active in the market. This is a good start,”suggests Magdalene.

How will the market 10 years from now? What qualities, skills and abilities necessary to develop? Questions are not easy answers, but with study and attention they can be better understood.”There are areas yes they will get more investment in the coming years, but that does not mean that if you do not fit in them, can not do something new. The world is always ready for new good ideas,”he says.

However, to keep up to date, take some courses – such as language, for example – is extremely important.”Regardless of the area, the world is increasingly globalized. This means that the barriers between people greatly diminished – but different languages ​​still exist. When you know to communicate in other languages​​, you have a big point in its favor,”he says.

Another suggestion which Madalena offers is to customize the work, and at the same time, expand your focus, ie, acquiring knowledge from many areas.”It is not because you are an expert on something that should close the head to new areas of knowledge,” he says. It is also important not to settle and to always be ready to deal with other cultures – this is an important feature of the future, after all, we’re talking about a global market.

For those who do not know what career to follow, Magdalene gives some tips from those who give evidence that will be promising in the coming years.”There are promising careers in many different areas. I understand that occupations that involve the environment and sustainability, and virtualization technology, quality of life, medicine, globalization – such as business administration or international relations, for example – are good options to follow,”says the specialist.
