Adventures in Staffing, Part 9

Back to the Future is the theme for my thoughts today. I know most people are absolutely beside themselves with the current pandemic and it is absolutely impacting the job market. One thing I have learned in 30+ years is that things will eventually balance out. That doesn't mean the old normal will return but a new normal will find its home eventually. My crystal ball is still a bit cloudy but I do sense some trends for the coming years.
The medical device industry will be extremely busy as all sorts of new protective devices and equipment to better deal with pandemics are developed. Positions will include R+D scientists, engineers, QA test technicians, production employees, marketing reps, etc. New methods of personal grocery delivery will emerge with needs for computer programmers, purchasing agents, GPS techs, delivery personnel , etc. Space planners and logistics experts will be in high demand as businesses find better ways to social distance. Other areas will grow as well but I suspect these will be the hot spots. Start thinking about where your place in the new normal could be located! Susan English Sheri D.
