New Year's Job Resolution Guide: Knowing Where to Look

Equipped with the preparation, resources, materials, and competitive edge you need to succeed, you may be asking the question “Where do I begin looking for employment opportunities?”

With an ocean of online job listing options, WORKFORCE plus recommends beginning your job search with Employ Florida Marketplace. Employ Florida Marketplace offers more than the average job board: not only does it provide access to thousands of hiring employers and it lists new jobs daily, it connects you to trained Career Consultants who act as no-cost recruiters on your behalf. 

Once you begin capitalizing on the Employ Florida Marketplace, remember to consider focusing your efforts to the industries hiring the most applicants. Numerous monthly reports explain which industries do the most hiring every month. In our area, the medical industry has consistently been one of the strongest hiring sectors for an extended amount of time. If your experience is in retail and you have great organizing abilities, discuss how your customer service skills are just what a busy medical office needs to succeed. If you are trained in information technology management, illustrate how your efficiency and program lead skills easily translate to what a hiring employer needs in the leisure and hospitality sector. The top hiring industries in Florida during the month of November were trade, transportation and utilities; private health services; leisure and hospitality; professional and business services; financial activities; and manufacturing. Begin your search by looking for opportunities in these industries.
