>>> WE ARE BACK WITH CONSUMER
CONFIDENT SHLG THAT’S ALL ABOUT
JOBS.
JUST OUT THIS MORNING THE LATEST
NUMBERS REVEAL THAT NEARLY
780,000 PEOPLE APPLIED FOR
UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS LAST WEEK.
BUT THERE ARE INDUSTRIES THAT
ARE HIRING.
LINKED IN IDENTIFIED THE TOP
JOBS ON THE RISE RIGHT NOW.
HERE TO SHARE SOME OF THE
FINDINGS IS THE EDITOR AND CHIEF
DAN ROSS.
GOOD MORNING.
>> THANKS FOR HAVING ME.
>> THERE ARE SO MANY INDUSTRIES
IMPACTED BY THE PANDEMIC.
A LOT OF FOLKS WANT TO SWITCH
INDUSTRIES.
HOW CAN YOU IDENTIFY WHAT YOUR
SKILLS ARE AND IF THEY’RE
TRANSFERABLE TO ANOTHER JOB?
>> WELL, I THINK NUMBER ONE, YOU
HAVE TO ACTUALLY REALIZE THAT
YOU HAVE THESE SKILLS.
IT’S REALLY -- PEOPLE THINK
ABOUT JOB AS BEING I WORK AT
THIS COMPANY OR IN THIS
INDUSTRY.
WE ARE ALL A COLLECTION OF
SKILLS THAT WE DO EVERY DAY, AND
WHAT EMPLOYERS ARE LOOKING FOR
DO YOU HAVE THE SKILLS AND CAN
YOU APPLY THEM TO OUR INDUSTRY
AND WHERE WE WANT TO GO.
KNOW YOUR SKILLS.
THINK CAREFULLY ABOUT IT.
AND LOOK AT WHERE THE INDUSTRIES
ARE GROWING.
THERE ARE PLACES HIRING.
E-COMMERCE IS HIRING RIGHT NOW.
ANYONE IN THE MEDICAL PROFESSION
WHERE THEY ARE TRYING TO
DIGITIZE THEIR PROCESS HIRING.
MORTGAGE PROCESSING IS HIRING
AND THEY NEED PEOPLE WHO ARE --
WHO CAN TALK AND COMMUNICATE AND
ARE GOOD WITH DATA ENTRY, WHO
CAN TELL STORIES AND WHO CAN
THINK THROUGH DIGITAL PROCESSES.
THERE’S A LOT OF DEMAND FOR
THESE SKILLS AND EVERYONE -- SO
MANY PEOPLE HAVE THEM AND JUST
DON’T THINK OUTSIDE THEIR
INDUSTRIES.
>> LET’S TACKLE THE LIST YOU
HAVE.
AT THE TOP OF THE LIST ON THE
JOBS ON THE RISE, I GUESS NO
SURPRISE.
PROFESSIONALS ON THE FRONTLINES
OF E-COMMERCE.
WHAT KINDS OF ROLES DO THESE
ENTAIL?
>> WELL, ANYTHING THAT INVOLVES
GETTING SOMETHING FROM A STORE
INTO YOUR HOME WITHOUT YOU
HAVING TO GO.
THAT IS IN SUCH DEMAND.
PEOPLE -- WE’RE ALL STUCK IN MY
ATTIC AND AT HOME THESE DAYS.
AND IF SOMEONE COULD BRING YOU
SOMETHING, THAT IS IT.
IT COULD BE ANYTHING FROM A
HIGH-END SHOPPER TO INSTACART.
PEOPLE GOING AND GETTING THIS
DONE.
PERSONAL SHOPPERS.
HUGE DEMAND FOR THAT SORT OF
AREA.
AND THEN ANYTHING IN THE
DELIVERY OR LOGISTICS SPACE.
EVERY SINGLE COMPANY, SMALL
BUSINESSES TO AMAZON, ARE ALL
NOW DELIVERY AND LOGISTICS
COMPANIES.
THEY NEED PEOPLE TO HELP THEM
GET THEIR WEARS TO THEIR
CUSTOMERS.
>> OKAY.
NEXT ON THE LIST, YOU HAVE LOAN
AND MORTGAGE EXPERTS.
DO YOU NEED TO HAVE SPECIALIZED
SKILLS IF YOU HAVEN’T DONE THIS
BEFORE?
>> YOU REALLY DON’T.
THIS IS MORTGAGE COMPANIES.
THEY’RE TRYING TO HIRE PEOPLE
WHO ARE GOOD AT CUSTOMER
SUPPORT.
WHO CAN LEARN.
THEY CAN TRAIN YOU HOW TO DEAL
WITH THE MORTGAGES BUT THEY NEED
PEOPLE WHO CAN GO OUT AND HUNT
FOR CUSTOMERS, WHO CAN PROCESS
THE CLAIMS.
THEY CAN WORK YOU THROUGH THE
SYSTEM, BUT YOU HAVE TO BE GOOD
AT DATA ENTRY, GOOD WITH
NUMBERS.
BUT MORTGAGE COMPANIES HAVE
LEARNED IN THE BOOMS AND BUSTS
THEY’VE GONE THROUGH HOW TO GET
PEOPLE THROUGH THE DOOR.
>> AFTER LOAN AND MORTGAGE IN
THIRD, HEALTH CARE SUPPORTING
STAFF.
HOW HAS THIS FIELD EXPANDED TO
OPEN UP TO FOLKS WITH A RANGE OF
SKILLS?
>> TOTALLY.
TELEMEDICINE IS ONE OF THE
THINGS THAT EVERYONE TALKS ABOUT
AS BEING THE FUTURE.
IN THE LAST YEAR, WE’VE
DISCOVERED TELEMEDICINE IS
SOMETHING WE HAVE TO HAVE, AND
CONTACT TRACING.
THESE ARE JOBS THAT DIDN’T EXIST
BEFORE THE PANDEMIC.
THERE IS DEMAND FOR PEOPLE WHO
CAN DO THOSE KIND OF JOBS.
THOSE ARE ALSO GOOD JOBS.
YOU DON’T HAVE TO HAVE A HIGHER
DEGREE.
YOU JUST HAVE TO BE ABLE TO WORK
WITH PEOPLE.
AND YOU WATCH DOCTORS NOW
GETTING PAID FOR DOING
TELEMEDICINE CALLS.
THEY NEED THE SUPPORT TO
DIGITIZE THEIR PROCESS TO DEAL
WITH THE INTAKE OF PATIENTS.
THOSE ARE ALL JOBS THAT ARE OPEN
AND NEW.
YOU DON’T HAVE PEOPLE WHO HAVE
DONE THESE THINGS FOR YEARS AND
YEARS THAT YOU’RE COMPETING
AGAINST.
YOU CAN MAKE THE CASE FOR WHY
WHATEVER YOU DID IN TRAVEL, THAT
INDUSTRY IS GONE OR SHRUNKEN.
YOU CAN DO IT IN TELEMEDICAL.
>> THIS DOESN’T TOP IN THE TOP
THREE, BUT IT GAINS MORE
ATTENTION AFTER THE BLACK LIVES
MATTER PROTESTS OVER THE SUMMER
DURING LAST SPRING.
WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT
COMPANIES THAT ARE HIRING
WORKPLACE DIVERSITY EXPERTS?
>> YEAH.
HUGE, HUGE NAND FORDEMAND FOR TH
A 91% INCREASE FOR DIEEI JOBS.
COMPANIES REALIZED THEY HAD TO
PLAY A ROLE IN RACIAL INEQUALITY
AND SOLVING THE RACIAL WEALTH
GAPS.
THEY NEED TO KNOW HOW TO HIRE
SOMETHING THAT COMPANIES HAVE
NOT BEEN ON THE FOREFRONT OF IN
THE PAST.
NOW THEY’RE HIRING DEI EXPERTS
TO HELP THEM AND THEIR WORK
FORCES DO A BETTER JOB OF BEING
DIVERSE, OF SURROUNDING
THEMSELVES WITH DIVERSITY.
IT MAKES THEIR COMPANIES BETTER.
IT’S WHERE THEIR COMPANIES ARE.
>> DEI, I KNOW DIVERSE.
>> EQUITY AND INCLUSION.
>> SORRY, YES.
>> GREAT.
>> THE NICEST ATTIC I HAVE EVER
SEEN IN MY LIFE.
>> IS IT REAL?
IS THAT REAL OR A FAUX
BACKGROUND?
>> YEAH.
>> NICE.
>> THE LIGHTING.
>> IT IS NICE IN THE PICTURES.
I’M THINKING ABOUT DECORATING MY
