Recruiting Fly

The fact that changing technology and ‘progress’ are creating job opportunities in the most unexpected areas is a plus. This means that marketing or creating a need for your qualifications is crucial.

• Entry level candidates are cheap, plentiful, and easily found. Your resume needs to reflect an aspect that will make you stand out from the crowd and will help create a demand for your profile. You need to highlight a USP (unique selling point), whether it is an internship or professional training. If you worked and paid your way through your training, you will project yourself as a hardworking, committed person. Self discipline and time management are the character traits that will follow from you financing your education.

• Presentation of your qualifications and background is the make or break point. You will have 35 to 60 seconds to pique the interest of the employer – that is how long it will take them to read your resume and decide whether to invest the time in meeting you to decide if you can be groomed for a career in the organization.

Although the city was declared one of the best for business in the nation in 2007, those searching for Minneapolis jobs may have a more difficult time in store for them than they would have in previous years. According to the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, Minnesota should expect the economy to slow down somewhat. The same goes for job and wage growth. Despite this news, the Federal Reserve says it sees no recession in sight.

Partially due to Minneapolis job creation, Minnesota often out performs other states in the Federal Reserve’s Ninth District. This year Montana and both North and South Dakota are expected to out do the state, mostly because of their larger stakes in booming commodity markets, including metals, oil, natural gas, and coal.

One of the key factors causing alarm in hospitals across the country is the fact that a large portion of nurses will be eligible for retirement with full benefits in just a few years. With the baby boomer generation quickly approaching the age of collecting social security, many offices are beginning to see the potential crisis this could cause, not only in the field of nursing, but for all areas of the workforce.
