Find Jobs Hiring in Hammond

Did you know now is the ideal time to find jobs hiring? Recently, The Harris Poll conducted a survey of U.S. hiring decision-makers. The results show that over 80% of employers foresee staffing being a challenge in the upcoming year. Job seekers in Hammond can use these circumstances to their advantage to find a new job or make a career change.

At Express Employment Professionals Covington, we know the job search can be difficult whether it's a hot labor market or a tough time for job seekers. The very nature of looking for employment opportunities can be intimidating if you don't know where to start. We're here to ensure you have a successful job search that ends with you landing a job and getting on track to achieving your professional aims.

Approaching Jobs Hiring in the Current Market

The new poll had a number of insights for job seekers to keep in mind while approaching potential opportunities: 

• Nearly half of companies reported a lack of applicants with relevant hard skills.  Because so many employers are in need of talent with the right skill set, you're likely to have success applying to jobs in an industry where you have the most applicable experience or transferable skills.
• Over one-third of respondents claimed the talent pool lacked soft skills.  After the isolation brought on by the pandemic, soft skills like communication, interpersonal, and time management skills are a major priority. Showing evidence of these skills can make you a more attractive candidate and may encourage hiring managers to invest in training you in other areas.
• Pay rates are increasing even at entry-level jobs.  With the current trends in pay rates, it's important for candidates to take the initiative to negotiate for higher salaries. The key is to remain confident at the bargaining table and know the hiring manager won't want the best person for the job to slip away.
