Twin Counties Recruitment Expo

The benefits of working in the Twin Counties

Living and working in Columbia and Greene Counties provides unique opportunities for a successful career in an environment that promotes high quality of life. The area has many thriving economic sectors, growing momentum, and a rich physical and cultural environment.

The surrounding area is one of our greatest advantages. On a macro-scale, the large markets and cultural hubs of New York City, Boston, and others are just a few hours drive away. Closer to home, the Capital Region is a rising center of technology and 21st century economic development. The Twin Counties themselves offer a scenic landscape with abundant recreational opportunities, numerous cultural and historic assets, and growing strategic industries.

Among these growing industries are agribusiness, the creative sectors, health care, tourism, and technology. The Twin Counties have seen an influx in investment in recent years throughout these sectors, which promises to bring increased job creation.

Notable among these investments is the $10 million awarded to the City of Hudson for the Downtown Revitalization Initiative, which will bring positive impacts to the broader area.

As Hudson rises as a destination for visitors and workers, so too will the rest of Columbia and Greene Counties.

We already have a healthy local job market and regularly h a v e

among the lowest unemployment rates in New York State. At the same time, those involved in building the local economy are always focused on bringing new opportunities to the area to ensure that everyone that is looking for a new career can find one.

Some of the ways the region is positioning itself for a prosperous job market in the future is through increased investment in broadband access, supporting strategic industries, and by expanding workforce programming like this Twin County Recruitment Expo event. Through these efforts, we’re working to make sure the local area is an attractive place to live and work for generations to come.

The strong attendance of this event is evidence that many people want to make their career in Columbia and Greene counties and further evidence of the local eco-

Twin Counties Recruitment Expo

Healthcare leads the fastest growing occupations in Capital Region

Among the employers present at the April Twin County Recruitment Expo, about half of them are hiring for healthcare-related occupations. This is no coincidence, as the list of fastest growing occupations in the Capital Region is dominated by the healthcare industry.

Six of the top ten of the fastest growing occupations in the region are in healthcare, according to the New York State Department of Labor. The fastest growing occupation between 2008 and 2018 was Personal and Home Care Aides, which grew by 50% or nearly 1,700 jobs.

Other high-growth occupations included Home Health Aides, Physician Assistants, Physical Therapist Aiders, Medical Scientists, and Dental Hygienists. Healthcare related occupations made up 13 of the top 20 fastest-growing in the region.

Expanded access to healthcare and an aging population are among the factors that account for the industry’s growth. The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics projects strong growth across various healthcare occupations through 2026. Many articles have been published in recent years calling the shortage in the health workforce a crisis.

Many of these jobs can be attained with an associate’s degree or some other form of education less than a bachelor’s degree. Local colleges and workforce organizations have been promoting nursing and health technician programs in recent years to work to address this shortage and fill the industry’s employment capacity. This indicates that while the labor market is currently competitive and challenging, there are ample opportunities for those that are trained in growing fields.

Healthcare is not the only field that is growing. Other high-growth occupations in the Capital Region include Electrical Equipment Assemblers, Network Systems Analysts, Biochemists, and Electronics Engineers. Nationally, the two occupations with the highest projected growth through 2026 are Solar Photovoltaic Installers and Wind Turbine Service Technicians.

Many organizations in the Twin County work every day to make sure that our educational and training programs are in line with the needs of the current and future workforce. The

April 2019

statistics on the labor market show that healthcare – as well as other emerging industries in science and technology – is a secure industry for work in the coming years and decades.

Change plays a big role as people ring in a new year. At the dawn of a new year, some people resolve to live healthier in the months ahead while others might make financial resolutions in an attempt to improve their bottom lines.

The decision to change jobs is another popular resolution at the dawn of a new year.

Professionals change jobs for various reasons. But regardless of what’s behind a career change, many people can benefit by looking for things in a new job that can make them happy both professionally and personally.

• Salary: Of course everyone would love to earn more money when changing jobs, but there is more to changing jobs than just improving your bottom line. As you begin your job search, consider how much you currently earn and if that allows you to live a life you love. If so, don’t overemphasize finding a new job that pays considerably more than your currently earn. On the flip side, young professionals who want to start a family in the years ahead should consider the costs associated with such a decision and how the salaries they earn at their next jobs may affect what they want down the road.

• Work/life balance: Before beginning your search for a new job, think about why you want to switch careers or companies. Long hours often leads to burnout. If you’re looking for a new job because you’re burned out,

try to find a job that affords you a better work/ life balance. A study from the Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen found that, with the curious exception of people who work more than 55 hours per week, stress rises accordingly with the numbers of hours worked each week. Keep that in mind if your goal is to find a job that affords you a better work/life balance.

• Satisfaction: When attempting to achieve a better work/life balance, it can be easy to overlook satisfaction at work in exchange for more time at home. But studies have shown that feeling satisfied by what you do can have a profound impact on your overall happiness.

It’s possible to find an engaging career that still affords you time away from work, and such a career can ultimately pave the way toward a happier life.

• Commute: Bending over backwards simply to get to work and then get home from work can have an incredibly negative impact on your life. A study from the Office of National Statistics in the United Kingdom found that commuters, especially those who spend between 60 and 90 minutes commuting to work, have lower life satisfaction and lower levels of happiness compared to people who don’t commute. Before accepting a job offer, estimate your commute time to and from the new office and try to determine the impact of that commute on your quality of life.

Columbia County continues to enjoyhistorically low unemployment For the last nine consecutive months, Columbia County posted one of the lowest unemployment rates of any county in the state according to the NYS Department of Labor’s monthly Area Unemployment Rates Press Release. This included six consecutive months of the lowest rate in the state from May through November, 2018. The County’s unemployment rate of 2.6% in November 2018 was its lowest on record since December, 1999. In the most recent release, Columbia County’s unemployment rate of 3.7% in January 2019 was down from 4.7% a year prior.

This signals strong and persistent growth for the County’s economy and job market since the unemployment rate peaked at 8.2% in 2012 in the years following the financial crisis.

The larger Capital Region also registered some of the state’s lowest unemployment rates, with the Albany-Troy-Schenectady

metro-area at 4.0% in January, and Albany and Saratoga counties among the lowest in the state. Greene County posted an unemployment rate of 4.7% in January, which was down from 6.1% a year ago.

Columbia County’s labor market has been bolstered by growth in key sectors and strategic investments in recent years. These include private projects such as the Wick Hotel and state investments through the Regional Economic Development Council process, which includes the $10 million Hudson Downtown Revitalization Initiative grant.

“Economic development is all about providing decent job opportunities and a high quality of life for people and families,” said CEDC President and CEO F. Michael Tucker. “Leading the state in employment rates is an encouraging sign that our economy is healthy and many of our strategies are working, but we are always seeking new and better ways to strengthen Columbia County’s economy.”

The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics reported a national unemployment rate of 3.8% in February, 2019, highlighting a strong national economy underpinning local growth.

Change jobs without burning bridges A new year invites people to reflect on the past and make changes or set goals for the months ahead.

Many people list advancing their careers among their goals at the dawn of a new year. For some, that might require getting a new job.

People look for new jobs for a variety of different reasons. One of the primary motivators to look for a new job is to earn more money. Others are interested in trying a new field.

The employment recruiting and networking resource The Balance: Careers indicates that the average person now changes jobs 10 to 15 times in their professional lives. The Bureau of Labor Statistics says that most people now spend 4.2 years in a current job, which is down from 4.6 years in 2014.

Although some people may be tempted to leave a job with a bang, they should exit with class and professionalism. No one knows what the future brings, and it’s best to leave a job on solid terms. With this in mind, here’s how a person can change jobs successfully.

• Draft a letter of resignation. Clearly communicate your decision to leave the organization.

Follow the proper chain of command and show

respect by addressing the person to whom you directly report. Clearly communicate your intent and future plans, highlighting when changes are expected to take place.

• Choose the right time. Timing is everything, and some times are better for leaving a job than others. Project Management, a consultant group, says to wait until important projects are finished, rather than bailing out in the middle of crucial work.

• Keep an open mind. Some employers may be blindsided by an employee’s desire to leave, particularly in cases when said employee never communicated with a supervisor about the desire for more responsibility or to discuss something that may not be working. A boss who respects your work and values you as an asset may make a counter-offer. Hear him or her out and weigh your options.

• Give plenty of notice. While two weeks’ notice is the norm, leaving more time for an employer to find your replacement, and helping to train this individual, is a sure sign of respect for your current employer.

Changing jobs can be stressful and awkward, but it can be done in a way to ensure good relations with an existing employer for years to come.

How to manage relocating for a new job

Moving can be a considerable undertaking. While working professionals who are single or married with no children may find it easier to move than men and women with families, it’s fair to say that anyone who is moving in the near future has some significant work ahead of them.

Regardless of what’s motivating men and women to relocate, and whether or not they’re relocating on their own or uprooting their families, various strategies can make a forthcoming move go more smoothly.

• Inquire about relocation assistance. The Allied survey found that 63 percent of companies offered relocation packages.

That’s a considerable perk, as moving can be expensive, especially for adults moving to different parts of the country.

Asking about relocation expenses before being offered a job can be tricky, but some companies may mention such packages in their job ads or in their initial meetings with out-of-town candidates.

• Ask what relocation packages cover. Relocation packages vary from company to company. The Allied Survey found that

54 percent of companies that offered such packages covered moving expenses, while 21 percent gave new hires a lump sum of money to use as they deemed necessary. One in five companies even sponsored trips to search for homes. Adults who are offered relocation packages should get the specifics so they can start creating moving budgets.

• Emphasize organization. Much of the stress associated with relocating can be traced to the logistics of uprooting oneself and one’s family. Men and women who are unaccustomed to making lists may want to start, as doing so can help keep track of all the tasks that need to be completed before hitting the road. Various unique tasks, from canceling utilities to changing insurance policies, must be completed before moving, and it’s easy to lose track of what’s been done and what hasnÕt.

Maintaining a to-do list and checking off tasks as they’re completed can simplify the relocation process.

• Rent your first home. The Allied survey found that 31 percent of respondents indicated the most challenging part of relocating for a job was finding a home, while 29 percent felt acclimating to their new community was the most challenging aspect of their relocation. Adults who rent their first homes upon relocating can remove some of the pressure to find the perfect home, knowing full well their first home in their new community will be temporary. If possible, rent in a location that makes it easy to immerse yourself in your new community, which should make the adjustment easier. In addition, place items that are unnecessary for day-to-day life in storage.

Having some of your possessions already packed should make your next move less stressful.

Top ways to make extra money on the side in the gig economy

As the economy has become increasingly global and digitized, many have noted the rise of the freelance or “gig economy.” While there are issues of lacking benefits and the security of traditional jobs, opportunities to make additional income during spare time or between jobs has benefited millions. Forbes reported in 2018 that over 57 million Americans were participating in the gig economy in some fashion. Here are some of the most common and lucrative ways to make extra money as a freelancer.

Driving for a ridesharing company: Uber and Lyft have upended the transportation and taxi industry since being introduced into the market in the last decade. Drivers can make a median wage of $15 per hour, and supplement other sources of income by a couple thousand dollars a month.

Selling or renting property: Real estate has been a lucrative source of income for decades, but has become more accessible with the rise of Airbnb and the sharing economy. Recently, the Albany Business Review noted that Greene County residents enjoy more revenue from Airbnb than any other in the Capital Region. With growing tourism and arts industries in the Twin Counties, property owners have a great opportunity to make thousands in additional income by temporarily renting rooms.

Fitness training or coaching: Fitness trainers can make $20 and hour and earn $200 per month on average according to Monster.com, making it the third most common freelance job.

than ever, those that are good at spotting value and know the right places to resell items can make over $1,000 per month and over $20 an hour, according to Monster.com.

Tutoring: Earning an average of $15 per hour, tens of thousands of Americans make a few hundred dollars extra per month by tutoring. Given the competitive nature of college applications and the need for personalized educational services, this is a freelance job that is likely to be in demand for the foreseeable future.

Nasdaq reported that the share of the workforce primarily involved in the freelance economy is expected to grow to 43% by 2020. There are numerous resources and services online geared at linking freelancers to opportunities. While traditional full-time employment is still preferred by most and it is risky and difficult to be a full-time freelancer, those seeking opportunities are well-suited to spend time seeing whether there are opportunities for them in the gig economy to help make ends meet.

Reselling items online: Selling items online was one of the first common side-gigs of the digital age with rise of ebay and craigslist. While the online marketplace is more competitive

Columbia-Greene Community College Columbia-Greene Community has grown in both size and scope since its start in 1969, while still maintaining its deep community roots.

Nestled at the foot of the Catskill mountains, adjacent to the Olana Historic Site and the Rip Van Winkle Bridge, C-GCC is unique in that it serves not one but two counties as a member of the State University of New York.

Construction on the heart of the campus was completed in 1974, but to continue to meet the needs of the Twin Counties’ residents, C-GCC has since then has added an on-site daycare center, arts center, technology center, and Professional Academic Center to its grounds, as well as five art galleries and a 450-seat theater that serve as cultural anchors.

Both career- and transfer-focused academic options also continue to grow and evolve; C-GCC is a comprehensive, two-year college now offering 39 academic degree and certificate programs, in the Divisions of Arts and Humanities, Behavioral and Social Sciences, Math and Science, Nursing, and Technology,

including automotive technology and the college’s newest degree program in cybersecurity.

Associate in Arts, Associate in Science, Associate in Applied Science, and Associate in Occupational Studies degrees are awarded, and one-year certificate programs and specialized non-credit courses geared toward community interest abound.

Just last year, C-GCC was heralded for its decades of work to date, achieving a national ranking of 24th of 715 community colleges in the U.S. by WalletHub.com. The ranking used data collected from the National Center for Education Statistics, Council for Community and Economic Research, and College Measures, and places C-GCC second among community colleges in the state.

That’s the result of consistent growth from a strong foundation, and of community support that allows the campus to branch out, reach toward the sun, and flourish.

Build your network en route to landing a new job

A new year provides a perfect opportunity to turn over a new leaf, and many people commit to doing so by making New Year’s resolutions.

While there are no rules governing resolutions, certain resolutions tend to top the list of the most common year after year. Setting health and fitness goals are very common, but so are resolutions to switch careers. In fact, a 2017 survey from YouGov found that 14 percent of respondents were

committed to finding a new job in 2018.

Building a strong professional network can help people find a fulfilling job when they are looking to advance their careers. The following tips can help professionals establish such a network.

• Recognize networking is a two-way street. Networking can be an effective way to find a new job, and itÕs also a great way to help other people do the same. While youÕre looking

for a new job, if you come across opportunities that arenÕt a good fit for you but might be for someone in your network, donÕt hesitate to contact them. Your efforts will be appreciated, and those you help might do the same for you if they come across job openings that suit your background.

• Build your online profile. LinkedIn, a social media site for professionals, is a go-to resource for human resources officials, and itÕs also a valuable way to stay connected with professional acquaintances. Career services professionals advise adding anyone you have worked with to your LinkedIn network. Continue building your profile as your network grows and you work with more people. When others invite you to join their network, accept those invitations.

• Update your resume. Update your resume as often as you deem necessary. Colleagues you’ve worked with in the past who are within your LinkedIn network may periodically view your profile, and an updated resume is a great way to keep them abreast of how your career is going. If they can see what you’ve accomplished since you last worked with them, they might be more inclined to reconnect or recommend you for a job opening.

• Stay in touch. Professional networks are most effective for professionals who keep in touch with their colleagues and acquaintances. Follow up with colleagues you’ve worked with in the past to see if there’s anything you can do for them or to check in on how a project you discussed with them is going. Staying in touch can shed light on job opportunities or open other doors that might facilitate your job search.

The traits of good leaders and how to gain skills for success on the job

29

Successful leaders have the skills to guide organizations on the right path. Such men and women are often the first up for promotions, and routinely relied on for critical projects. Solidifying your own leadership qualities can be just what you need to land a great job and start climbing the corporate ladder.

Good leaders often share a key array of skills. Below are some of the qualities that make strong workplace leaders.

Communication — Being able to communicate effectively with all of the people in your work environment and beyond is one of the most essential leadership skills you can possess. Honest communication can build trust and being open to feedback can ensure that everyone is working toward a common goal.

Effectively communicating means knowing when to speak and when to listen.

Self-management — It can be challenging to manage or oversee others if you can’t effectively take charge of your own tasks. Being able to self-manage involves gaining control and prioritizing goals and actions. However, it also extends to being able to manage emotions, recognize weaknesses and strengths and focus attention where it’s needed.

Integrity — Great leaders are trusted by others. Consistently acting with decorum and respect and delivering on your promises will inspire others to trust you. Stick to your core beliefs and values.

Confidence — Effective leaders have the confidence to make decisions and stand by them.

Note that there is a fine line between assertive confidence and being boastful or cocky. It may take a little while to develop the right balance that encourages others to support your efforts.

Delegation — Delegating tasks is not a sign of weakness. In fact, it is a quality consistently found in strong leaders. Being able to delegate means you have the confidence in others to share responsibilities based on their skill sets. Delegating also promotes teamwork and lets others know you’re not afraid to share success.

Accountability — Leaders make mistakes just like everyone else. Owning your mistakes like you own accomplishments is a good trait to have. Placing blame elsewhere when it’s not warranted can diminish others’ trust in you, while taking blame when it’s due will only increase that trust in you.

A job fair is for everyone

By Mary-Alane Wiltse | Career Builders

On April 16th, the Workforce New York Career Center, Columbia Greene Media and the Columbia Economic Development Corporation along with additional sponsors will host a Job Expo at Columbia-Greene Community College. Over 50 local employers are expected to attend. Job Fairs are not only for people who are unemployed. They are also a great opportunity for anyone who wants to learn more about the employment opportunities available in their community. The size and chaos of job fairs can sometimes be overwhelming, but with proper preparation, you can be a job seeker or job explorer that is ready to take full advantage of this event.

Before you attend a job fair, you need to ensure you have an up-to-date resume that reflects the career area you are targeting.

If you are open to considering more than one occupational field, then you also need to consider developing a resume for each of those career choices. Remember, your resume is your written advertisement, and you need to be clear about the skills and experience you are selling. Bring lots of copies because you are going to want to leave a resume with every recruiter you meet.

If you are not able to create a resume before the event be sure to get the representative’s business card and follow up after the event with a resume and cover letter reminding the recruiter of your meeting.

First impressions are very important. Prepare the wardrobe you are going to wear. You need to dress as you would for an official, scheduled job interview. Suits may not be necessary, but you

should look neat and professional. Try to match your attire to what you believe will be the attire of the recruiter you most want to meet. Keep jewelry and perfume or cologne to a minimum.

Be sure to leave the kids at home and don’t empty the business’s candy bowls! Also, make sure you wear comfortable shoes because, you can be standing for long periods.

You also need to prepare a verbal sales pitch. This “thirty second sell” should begin with an explanation of the type of position you are seeking, and include a description of your career interests, skills and work experience. It should focus on your strengths and be relevant to the needs of the organization. Although you may feel foolish, you should practice your routine until it feels comfortable and natural. This sales pitch will be part of the first impression you make, so you want it to be a good one.

Your final step before the day of the job fair is to research the companies that will be attending. You should always feel free to call the sponsor of the fair to get a list of these businesses.

Then go to the companies’ web sites, read their mission statements, and find out what products they make or services they offer. Spend some time analyzing how you could benefit their organization.

On the day of the job fair, try to arrive near the start time. As the day progresses, the likelihood of having a recruiter’s full attention diminishes. The crowds, the noise and the effort it takes to speak with hundreds of people can be exhausting for the business representatives that attend.

When you first arrive, stop at the registration desk and pick up

a list of employers and a map of the floor plan. Take some time to plan your strategy. Visit first with some of the companies that do not seem like the best match. This will give you a chance to practice your technique and gain confidence before you move on to those companies that hold the best promise. Then finish your visit by talking with the rest of the businesses. Even if a company does not have any jobs that are right for you, their recruiter may have valuable leads of other companies unknown to you.

Remember to conduct yourself professionally at all times. Keep in mind that although the atmosphere may appear casual, you are being evaluated even as you stand in line or move about the fair. Respect other people’s privacy as they complete their contact with a recruiter by leaving some personal space between you and them.

When you first walk up to the recruiter’s table, introduce yourself with a firm handshake and maintain good eye contact. Be assertive and ready to launch your 30-second sales pitch as you hand the recruiter your resume. Your goal is to stand out from other candidates. Prepare a couple of questions you want to ask the recruiter, including their hiring process. Pick up any company literature, comment on their “give-aways” and ask for a business card. At the close, shake hands, thank the recruiter and walk away with confidence.

Mary-Alane Wiltse is the Director of the Workforce New York Career Center at Columbia-Greene Community College. For more information, call 828-4181 ext. 5510.The job fair is scheduled for April 16th from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the gymnasium at the college.
