The job market has gone through many changes over the course of that past year. For many job seekers it can feel difficult to know where to look, knowing that industries and companies are transforming through the incredible job-market challenges of the #coronavirus pandemic.
The good news, however, is that there are plenty of jobs out there that are booming. Here’s what to know and what search terms you should be running to see more local options.
Delivery driving jobs are incredibly versatile and in-demand as more people opt to pay for goods to be delivered to their homes. For those who are looking for work, delivery driving offers a great way to get employed in an industry that is expanding rapidly.
Those who have a car and want to deliver goods can find plenty of options in gig delivery services. Gig jobs like DoorDash, Uber Eats or Postmates allow their drivers to quickly start making cash and tips from delivering food in their local area.
Those who would rather earn with a classic job can apply for a position at a national chain like Pizza Hut or a similar local restaurant with in-house delivery jobs available.
If delivering packages sounds more appealing, jobs at USPS, FedEx and other package delivery services are consistently hiring nationwide to deal with the recent uptick in packages.
Like the increased job market for delivery drivers, warehouse and fulfillment facilities have also ramped up hiring to fulfill package delivery orders due to a recent boom in online purchasing.
Fulfillments centers like Amazon’s fulfillment centers are consistently hiring nationwide, however there are also local and company-specific warehouses that are also trying to meet increased online ordering needs.
Large retailers like Walmart and Target have also pivoted some of their resources to suit online orders with a quick delivery turnaround, which requires more fulfillment associates.
With many students participating in e-learning, parents need to know that their children are getting the guidance they need on a wide range of topics. Enrolling their children in online learning services ensures that their children get the help they need to continue being successful at school, even when attending from home.
There are many places to find listings for an online tutoring job and based on your subject of specialty some will be a better fit for you than others. If you’re a certified teacher or have a degree in a topic of specialty like math or science you can use platforms like Tutor.com or the similarly named (but different) Tutors.com to start tutoring students online.
If you don’t have a special degree or certification, don’t despair! Platforms like VIPKid will allow you to start teaching English online with relatively minimal requirements and only suggest that you should have teaching experience to begin.
Similar to the elevated need for delivery drivers and fulfillment associates, more customer service representatives are needed to support customers with their online orders.
There are many online services that help connect qualified customer service representatives with companies that need them. Companies like Alorica, TTEC, Concentrix and more all offer a step into remote work for people with customer support experience who want to take their skills remote.
Remote workers who once had to live near their workplaces are now moving farther away toward areas that offer a lower cost of living. With all this moving around, real estate agents are needed now, perhaps more than ever, to make those housing sales happen. Even though these jobs don't require a degree
Real estate agencies and branches tend to operate locally, so it’s best to look into which offices operate in your area to figure out who’s hiring or search online to see local listings.
