It’s a Job Seekers Market – Finding Employment
Posted on 12/28 by Erin Helms
Now, there are more jobs than ever before. Unfortunately, these jobs are not always easy to find. Finding a job you can feel good about with your skills and personality is essential. It is a job seekers market, and here are some tips for finding employment.
Tidy up Your Resume
When seeking employment, the first thing to do is to ensure your resume is correct and updated. Clearly outline critical contact information. Ask yourself what the company wants in an ideal candidate. Make sure your experience aligns with what they seek. Check your resume for any grammatical errors.
Use Social Media
Finding employment means being proactive and using tools like Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. Be sure to put your resume on your LinkedIn profile and keep it up to date with your most current information. You can associate with recruiters on social media and follow a company of your choice on Twitter to see if they post new job opportunities. Construct a professional page on Facebook or Twitter and promote it.
Improve Your LinkedIn Profile
LinkedIn is the social media platform for job searching. You can look for available positions and apply directly from your profile. You can learn more about a company and reach out to people who work there. Of course, an established network on LinkedIn can help you find new opportunities. Set up alerts for the specific types of jobs and companies that interest you.
Catch up With Old Bosses and Colleagues
Staying in contact with people you know can help you find a job. You never know. A former supervisor or colleague might be looking for someone with experience, and it never hurts to mention you are available.
Attend Networking Events
Networking events are an amazing opportunity to meet new people and possibly land a job. The best part? These events are free, so you can attend them as often as you desire. Deciding how much energy and time you wish to invest in a job hunt would be best. Frequent networking events are beneficial when starting but can be exhausting in the long-term.
Consider Internships
Internships can move you to the front of the line when job searching. These internships cost nothing, are beneficial, and can easily lead to a full-time job after the internship. Demonstrating initiative during an internship and genuine interest in the opportunity is crucial. Internships can also offer networking opportunities.
Consider a Staffing Agency
Temporary employment with a reputable staffing agency is an excellent way to secure a job. A staffing agency like LaborMAX can find jobs that may not be available by tapping into their network of employers. LaborMAX has temporary, temporary-to-hire, and full-time employment opportunities. Let them help you.

Summer 2026 Event Staffing: Coverage When It Counts in Six Host Cities
Match Week 2026 is heading to Kansas City, Miami, Dallas, Houston, San Francisco, and Seattle — and if you run a hotel, a venue, a facility, or an event-services company in one of those cities, the headline isn't the matches. It's the squeeze. When hundreds of thousands of visitors land in a single market over a few weeks, every operation that touches them feels it at once. Front desks get slammed. Banquet floors run short. Parking lots, loading docks, and event corridors need bodies that didn't exist on the schedule last year. And the labor pool you normally pull from? It's getting recruited away by everyone else trying to staff the same surge. This is the part most operators underestimate. The crowds are predictable. The labor gap that comes with them is what catches teams flat-footed.

Here's what the numbers say, and what they mean for your business.

The April employment report delivered a stronger-than-expected signal for employers: growth is happening, but companies still need flexibility to keep pace. According to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, overall nonfarm employment increased in April, with the economy adding 115,000 jobs. That number came in well above the expected median forecast of 65,000 jobs, according to a Bloomberg survey of economists. Temporary staffing also moved in a positive direction. U.S. temporary employment rose by 7,900 jobs, reaching 2.5 million temporary jobs in April. While temporary employment remains below its March 2022 peak of nearly 3.2 million, the latest numbers suggest that staffing activity is beginning to firm up. Staffing Industry Analysts Economist Michael Schultz described the April results as “surprisingly strong,” adding that “this is the first time since last summer where a strong month was not immediately followed by a weak month.” For companies evaluating their workforce plans, that matters.
