Even specialized positions like landscape construction superintendents and personal assistants are popping up, signaling a need for skilled as well as entry-level talent.
Listeners interested in in-person networking can attend several career events happening right now. The Seattle Virtual Job Fair, hosted on September 10th, linked job seekers to leading employers across nearly every industry imaginable—technology, biotech, retail, aerospace, legal, energy, and food services among them.
