After the year we’ve had, it’s no surprise that you may have reservations about getting back into the job market. But more than a year into the pandemic, the economy is improving and jobs are coming back. According to the Labor Market, employers added almost one million positions in March alone, particularly in the hospitality, food, travel and technology industries.
If you’re currently looking for jobs hiring in Jackson MS, we have some tips that will help you make this transition. If you need some help along the way, contact Capitol Staffing. We are experts in finding the best employment opportunities for our clients.
Strengthen your digital communication skills.
This past year, workers have had to get comfortable using Zoom and other virtual meeting software. To catch up, you’ll need to brush up on your digital communication skills. In fact, a lot of interviews are done virtually, so you may be using these skills sooner than later. Start by practicing setting up Zooms with friends and family so you can get used to using this technology.
Talk to an employment agency.
It doesn’t hurt to get some help in your search. Unfortunately, most people aren’t taught how to look for work so they struggle to find jobs that fit their needs. Thankfully, a temp agency like Capitol Staffing can help. Get in touch with us, let us know what type of work you’re looking for and we’ll get you in our database. We can assist you in finding the perfect position!
Be open to new opportunities.
Because of the pandemic, many employers are now willing to hire remote workers. This widens your opportunities because you can apply for jobs that aren’t in your local area. Now might also be a good time to consider other lines of work, especially if you want flexibility in working from home. Some work-from-home jobs that are currently hiring are translators, software engineers, bookkeepers and sales agents.
Consider temporary work.
If you’re having a hard time finding a full-time position, consider temporary work. The economy is still recovering so not all employers are willing to hire a permanent employee. But temporary work gets your foot in the door and can help you land a long-term role with a salary and benefits. Even if you don’t get a full-time position from the company, you’ll be picking up skills and experience that can be added to your resume.
It probably feels strange getting back into the job market, but you need to start somewhere. Capitol Staffing can help you find jobs hiring in Jackson MS with our easy-to-use online application process. Contact us today and let’s find you a job that will change your life for the better!
