Best Companies For Job Growth

Yesterday Yahoo Finance published an article on the Best Companies for Job Growth.  Many of the companies had over 20% job growth last year when “companies weren’t hiring”.

They’re Hiring!

As the leader of  The Compass Group, my church’s career group, I often hear “no one is hiring”.  Even in Austin, Texas – reportedly one of the strongest economies in the U.S., I constantly hear this statement.  I always reply with “someone is hiring”, and by the stats in Yahoo Finance’s article, some companies were doubling their workforce! 

Target

As a Career Coach, I recommend a strategy that targets companies that the client would like to (and be proud to) work for.  I’m generally asked how to get started making a list of companies.  This Yahoo Finance article will be one of the tools that anyone can use to start building a list of target companies.

Happy St. Patricks Day everyone!

Career Coach & Fortune 500 HR professional, Jay Markunas, recommends targeting 30-40 companies that clients would be proud to work for when working with clients through Great Occupations and The Job Search Boot Camp.  Check out a sneak-peak at the new Great Occupations website (still in development) due to launch next week:  http://www.GreatOccupations.com.
