Navigating A Tough Job Market: Advice For 2025 Job Seekers

Transitioning to a new industry as a job seeker is harder than ever. Just last week, a senior hiring manager shared with me a reality many hiring managers face. He said:

"Alex, I take what's on paper very seriously. If I hire someone whose resume doesn’t check all the boxes and it doesn’t work out, my boss will say, ‘Well, it didn’t look right on paper.’ But if I hire someone who does look right on paper and it doesn’t work out, it’s fine—we made a safe bet.”

This mindset is common among hiring managers right now. In a market where interest rates are high, budgets are tight, and decisions are scrutinized, the “safe bet” approach reigns supreme. If your resume doesn’t scream perfect fit, you’re likely to be overlooked.

The problem? I’ve spoken to hundreds of talented, driven job seekers looking to break into new industries. These individuals are high-performing, commercially savvy, and eager to bring value to organizations. But if they’re not a round peg that fits into the round hole of the hiring manager’s expectations, they’re being passed over.

So, what’s the move for 2025?

If breaking into a new industry isn’t panning out, consider an in-between strategy:

• Stay put in your current industry and build new skills.
• Take an online course or upskill in an area relevant to your future goals.
• Start a side hustle to showcase your adaptability and entrepreneurial drive.
• Add more equity to your resume by taking on stretch assignments or learning a niche skill.

The market will turn. By mid-to-late 2025, the economic landscape is expected to shift, creating more opportunities for transitions—and higher base salaries. Your preparation now will make you a sought-after candidate later.

So, hold steady, stay motivated, and keep investing in yourself. The groundwork you lay in 2025 could set you up for career breakthroughs when the tide turns.

A+CHEC: The Winning Formula for High Performers in Business

In business, like in sports, success is driven by mindset and distinct characteristics. At Athlete2Business, we’ve distilled the key traits of elite athletes and high-performing professionals into a framework we call A+CHEC: the Athlete Mindset combined with Communication, Humble Confidence, Emotional Intelligence, and Commercial Awareness. This formula defines individuals who excel under pressure, adapt quickly, and consistently deliver results. Ideal for sales!

Here’s a closer look at what makes A+CHEC candidates so impactful:

• Athlete Mindset: Resilience, grit, and a competitive edge define these individuals. They embrace challenges, bounce back from setbacks, and continually strive to improve.
• Communication Skills: High performers articulate ideas clearly, listen actively, and foster collaboration, inspiring trust and alignment across teams.
• Humble Confidence: They balance self-assurance with openness to feedback and growth, building strong relationships and driving team success.
• Emotional Intelligence: With heightened awareness of emotions—both their own and others'—they navigate interpersonal dynamics with empathy and precision, a critical skill in today’s business environment.
• Commercial Awareness: Staying informed about industry trends and market opportunities, these professionals bring strategic insight that drives business growth. They know how to make money!

By applying our CHEC-list, we connect businesses with individuals who bring more than just technical skills—they bring an edge, a mindset for success, and the ability to adapt and excel in any business environment.
