Job Trends

Numbers and graphs always fascinate me so I was excited to stumble across Indeed’s Job Trends page. They have charts documenting information from different categories of the job search, such as postings per capita and industry employment trends. I’d recommend checking out the information they have on that page to see where your city falls in comparison to others on job market competition; for example, my hometown of Portland, Oregon has one job posting for every four unemployed persons, whereas our neighbors to the north in Seattle have a better ratio at 1:2.

Thinking about relocation? Or is it not even an option? Check out our job board to see the opportunities we have available (and shoot us an email if you find one you like!).

You Don’t Have To Settle For Less

A recent article on CareerBuilder outlines one of the common mistakes when high-level candidates start a new job search. Are You Shooting Too Low in Your Job Search? gives the two primary reasons people apply to jobs for which they are overqualified, as well as problems with accepting a lower-level job. The article recommends networking in order to find the ‘hidden job market’ of jobs not posted online. While using your network is always important in any search, it also helps to work with a recruiter so that they can identify positions suitable to your level of expertise. If the recruiter doesn’t think you are a good match they will let you know and help you find something that is a better fit with your qualifications. It’s important to make sure you have the right fit in all aspects of your job.

Leaving Your Job Doesn’t Have To Be Hard

Congratulations! You’ve found a new job. It’s in your desired field, the salary is good (the bonus is better!), and the company culture is what you’ve always been looking for; this position is the perfect opportunity for you. There’s only one downside: you’re already employed. For whatever reason you’re ready to leave this old job—especially with a great new opportunity in front of you—but you don’t quite know how. CareerBuilder has put together a list of 5 Tips for Quitting With Class: work hard until the end, be gracious, give appropriate notice, ‘it’s me, not you’, and tie up loose ends. Every one of these is important when dealing with a soon-to-be-former employer, as it is crucial to never burn any bridges with either your coworkers or supervisors. You never know where those connections may come in handy in the future. Also, it’s never fun to have that one person who is twirling their thumbs until their final minute. Even though you may be counting the hours in your head, it’s important to put the effort into what you do until you leave the office for good.
