SCV BUSINESS VOICES
New Year, New Career!
HOLLY SCHROEDER
President & CEO of SCVEDC
What are your job goals for 2023? Are you looking to advance in your current profession? Or take your career in a new direction? For many the past few years have been a time to take stock of their professional goals, leading to the Great Retirement, The Great Resignation, and a record number of people switching jobs.
It’s that time of the year again when many of us look back on the past and plan future goals or ambitions. Trying to predict the moving target that is the US job market remains difficult. However, one thing appears to persist as we enter into 2023: it’s still a job seekers market and there are plenty of jobs out there! Different regions and specific industries across the US have seen drops in growth and cooling of their respective markets. Here in the SCV we’ve actually accelerated in employment growth, with a number of local companies continuing to expand and increasing hiring efforts.
As you consider your plans for 2023, you may find yourself returning to a long commute, as companies call people back to the office. If this is no longer desirable, working locally is a great option! LiveWorkSCV.com is a free resource that matches SCV job opportunities with local SCV talent.
Job postings are free to SCV employers, and all jobs are reviewed before publishing to assure they meet the SCV locale criteria. Job seekers can create a profile, connect their LinkedIn account, and sign up for job alerts that match their skill sets. Santa Clarita Valley employers can post jobs for free and search the database of potential candidates. The numbers don’t lie! In 2022 alone, LiveWorkSCV.com received over 850 job postings from close to 150 different local employers, and over 2,300 total applications submitted by job seekers.
Now more than ever, this job board plays an important role as SCV businesses plan their strategies for their workforce in the coming year. This resource provides a valuable service to both local companies and residents, especially for those whose jobs have been disrupted due to the pandemic.
