Understanding Where the Jobs Are

This month, we will hear from two people who are tuned into the job search and hiring scene in Minnesota. Tim O’Neill is a regional labor market analyst with MN DEED, and Deb Broberg is the Executive Director at Real Time Talent.

Tim will share DEED Labor Market Insights & Tools, including some Minnesota labor market statistics and an industry sector analysis. He’ll talk about:

• Occupations in Demand
• Employment Projections
• Tools for Further Understanding

Deb gives us insight into what employers look for and how you can prepare for your next career move. She believes there are two very different labor markets right now and discusses how to evaluate the best path for yourself.

• Implications of shifting to skills-based hiring v. credential-based hiring
• Importance of networking
• Value of understanding how jobs are referred to in the market & who is hiring
• Use of Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS)
