For the last five years - even before the economic down turn - we've always heard the comment: all there is are healthcare jobs. In the newspaper industry there's a number of 2.5 seconds as to the amount of time you have to capture a reader's attention. Online it's probably even less, especially when it comes to lists and search results.
It's true, many jobs out there are healthcare related. That's not a bad thing. Healthcare and human services jobs are necessities in our society and they are "economy" shielded for the most part. But the next time you see a list of healthcare jobs, read deeper.
Don't just read the job title, read the hospital name, too. Chances are if they are hiring for nurses and lab techs they're hiring administrative and general positions. Hospital staff also includes laundry, housekeeping, maintenance, office, grounds, engineers and more. Sometimes hospitals will contract out for certain areas such as dining.
So the next time you see a hospital is hiring online or in the paper, check out the company profile or read the ad through. You may just find they have just what you're looking for.
