Usually the majority of
summer jobs are lawn care, babysitting, dog walking, car washes, lemonade stands
and bake sales, but with businesses opening in Greeley, this year these will not
be the only summer jobs. That’s good news for a lot of people, especially since
it’s the time of year when graduates from UNC will be entering into the
workforce. According to the Tribune, the U.S. job market has been on a hiring
kick since the Great Recession, Weld County alone produced 900 jobs since last
year, but March didn’t follow suite.
The slowdown didn’t affect
Greeley businesses’ support of summer jobs. On April 5th, the Island
Grove Event Center held Weld County’s 32nd free youth fair. This
event helps younger people who want summer jobs as well as professionals
looking for full-time careers. The Tribune article also noted that business that are
hiring in addition to others that are not attended the event; this shows
Greeley residents that it’s a good idea to turn in a resume to an ideal
business even if they are not hiring.
Even though the job
fair has passed, Greeley has some ongoing resources for job seekers. Teenagers,
college graduates, young professionals and experienced workers can all start
looking for jobs on the Tribune’s job page and Weld County’s employment website. Weld County’s website has other resources such as skill assessment
tests, training programs and career counseling screenings. In addition to
websites, it’s beneficial to visit appealing businesses and give a paper
resume.
Take advantage of
Greeley’s recent growth in businesses. Get motivated by knowing that more
businesses opening in Greeley means more job openings too.
