Technology companies are hiring again, nationally and in the Boston area, according to recruiters and some of the companies themselves.
WASHINGTON - Job openings rose sharply earlier this year, evidence that employers are slowly ramping up hiring as the economy improves. The number of openings in January rose about 7.6 percent, to 2.7 million, compared with December, the Labor Department said. That’s the highest total since February 2009. Westford Job Seekers Network produced a show on December 16th, 2009 called Ask the Recruiters in which a panel of recruiters were asked questions about best practices when looking for a new career. King & Bishop's Janet Perry is on the board of experts.
The Massachusetts unemployment rate fell in November for the second straight month, adding to evidence that the state’s economy has begun a recovery and the struggling job market is nearing a bottom, analysts said.College graduates expected to graduate over the next few weeks are finding themselves back at home as they struggle to find jobs in the already-crowded job market. King & Bishop's Marilyn Santiesteban is featured (1:45).
Help wanted: pharmacists, engineers and nurses. Believe it or not, even some banks are hiring, at least for their technology teams. We've all heard about the layoffs, but some Massachusetts companies, like Constant Contact, are still hiring. By day, Alex Metricarti works full-time as a college administrator. At night, she's a busy mom trying to keep her family on track and a real estate agent. |
