>>> THIS MORNING IN "CONSUMER

CONFIDENTIAL," WHICH JOBS ARE

HOT, WHERE TO FIND WORK AND THE

ONE THING THAT COULD GIVE YOU A

MOST IN TODAY'S HIRING MARKET.

HERE WITH THE SCOOP LINKEDIN'S

EDITOR-IN-CHIEF MR. DAN ROTH.

>> GOOD TO BE HERE.

>> OKAY.

SO WE HAVE A LOT OF COLLEGE

GRADUATES GOING TO BE ENTERING

THE JOB MARKET.

WHAT IS THE MARKET LIKE,

ESPECIALLY FOR FOLKS WHO ARE

JUST MAYBE GETTING THEIR FOOT IN

THE DOOR TRYING TO GET STARTED.

>> IT IS NOT THE BEST OF TIMES

TO BE STARTING YOUR CAREER.

HIRING IS DOWN ABOUT 10% YEAR

OVER YEAR AND BECAUSE OF LAYOFFS

LAST YEAR IN HOT INDUSTRIES,

TECH AND CONSULTING, YOU ARE NOT

JUST COMPETING WITH YOUR

CLASSMATES BUT LAID OFF WORKERS

WITH EXPERIENCE.

THAT SAID, JOB OPENINGS ARE WAY

UP OVER THE PRE-COVID ERA.

ABOUT A THIRD OF THE JOBS ON

LINKEDIN RIGHT NOW ARE FOR

ENTRY-LEVEL POSITIONS AND UNIQUE

SKILLS THAT NEW GRADS CAN TALK

ABOUT WHICH WILL SET THEM APART.

>> CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THE ROLES

AND MAYBE THE INDUSTRIES WITH

THE MOST OPPORTUNITIES?

>> YEAH.

SO ONE OF THE WAYS TO START A

NEW JOB IS TO LOOK WHERE THE

DEMAND IS.

WE PULLED THE DATA ON WHO IS

HIRING.

PEOPLE WITH B.A.s, CAREER

STARTERS.

ONE IS INVESTMENT BANKING

ANALYST, 26% JUMP YEAR OVER

YEAR.

INVESTMENT BANK HIRING.

THE SECOND IS BEHAVIORAL HEALTH

TECHNICIAN AND MEDICAL

ASSISTANTS.

THESE ARE ALL PLACES THAT HAVE

ENTER-LEVEL POSITIONS YOU CAN

GET INTO WITH A B.A.

THREE BIG INDUSTRIES JUMP OUT,

EDUCATION, GOVERNMENT

ADMINISTRATION AND CONSTRUCTION.

ALL REALLY WANT PEOPLE WHO DON'T

HAVE A TON OF EXPERIENCE AND

THEY NEED THE BODIES.

>> OKAY.

SO WE ALWAYS HEAR LOCATION,

LOCATION, LOCATION.

YOU SAY THAT THAT ACTUALLY WORKS

WHEN IT COMES TO FINDING A JOB,

TOO.

>> YOU SHOULD GO WHERE THE JOBS

ARE.

THAT SEEMS LIKE SIMPLE ADVICE.

IT IS VERY TRUE.

TWO STATES JUMP OUT.

ONE IS ARIZONA.

>> REALLY?

>> VERY HOT.

NOT JUST IN TERMS OF

TEMPERATURE.

ALSO IT'S NOT TOO EXPENSIVE TO

LIVE IN ARIZONA, SO IT IS A

PRETTY GOOD PLACE.

TUCSON IN PARTICULAR, 60% JUMP

IN HIRING NEW GRADS.

THEY HAVE RANTHEON DOING A BUNCH

OF TIRING.

THE SECOND STATE IS FLORIDA.

IF YOU ARE GETTING A JOB, YOU

SHOULD EXPECT TO BE IN THE

OFFICE.

AT THIS POINT THE NUMBER OF

REMOTE AND HYBRID JOBS ARE

STARTING TO DWINDLE.

13% OF JOBS ARE IN ONE OF THOSE

CATEGORIES.

UP FROM LAST YEAR BUT STILL A

DROP IN THE BUCKET.

>> EVERYTHING WE HEARD IN

PREVIOUS YEARS TALKING ABOUT

CODING, THINGS LIKE THAT.

NOW IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYTHING IS

ABOUT AI.

>> YEAH.

SO THE GOOD PART ABOUT THIS IS

YOU CAN GET AI SKILLS WITHOUT

BEING SUPER TECHNICAL, BUT YOU

HAVE TO HAVE AI SKILLS.

A RECENT STUDY WE DID FOUND 66%

OF EMPLOYEES SAID THEY WILL NOT

HIRE SOMEONE UNLESS THEY HAVE AI

SKILLS.

71% OF EMPLOYERS SAID THEY WOULD

RATHER HAVE SOMEONE WITH LESS

EXPERIENCE WITH AI SKILLS.

THE GREAT PART IS YOU DON'T JUST

HAVE TO BE IN TECH.

THERE ARE INDUSTRIES HIRING FOR

THESE AI SKILLS TEND TO BE

OUTSIDE OF TECH.

THE THREE BIG ONES ARE SUPPORT

STAFF, REAL ESTATE AND RETAIL.

THEY ARE ADDING TONS OF AI

SKILLS.

>> THAT'S INTERESTING.

>> WHAT SETS YOU APART TO LAND

THE JOB?

>> THEN NETWORK LIKE CRAZY.

YOUR JOB, AFTER YOU GET OUT OF

COLLEGE, IS A NETWORK.

MEET AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE.

APPLY BROADLY.

DON'T JUST APPLY TO THE BIG

BRAND NAME COMPANIES.

THINK SMALL BUSINESSES, BIG

MARKET.

WHEN YOU GET AN INTERVIEW, COME

IN SUPER PREPARED.

YOU GUYS ALL KNOW THIS WELL.

BUT YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU

HAVE DONE RESEARCH, YOU COME IN

WITH IDEAS, HOW CAN THIS COMPANY

SET THEMSELVES APART FROM YOUR

COMPETITION.

THE LAST ONE IS WHEN YOU LAND

THAT JOB, BE PREPARED TO

ACTUALLY GET STUFF DONE.

>> GET TO WORK.

>> DO AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

JUST BE THE PERSON THAT GETS
