Source: eGrabber Newsletters

The previous edition of eGrabber newsletters had discussed about focusing on sectors of growth - IT, healthcare, green energy, infrastructure, etc. Now, it is time to ask yourself:
  • Am I prepared to take advantage of these opportunities?
  • Have I equipped myself well enough to beat the competition and fill job positions in these new sectors of growth?
Take the Healthcare industry for example: Even now, healthcare recruiting and staffing is experiencing strong growth. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, healthcare will generate 3 million new jobs in the next 8 years. What should you do to capitalize on this demand?

A very effective and pro-active strategy would be to build a (resume) database of healthcare professionals. This will ensure that when the opportunity arises, you will be in the best position to fill open job positions quickly and effectively.
