Ever since Texas Governor Rick Perry entered the presidential race, there has been a lot of public debate about recent job growth in Texas. Some on the left would argue that the jobs are all paying minimum wage, while others say that they are in higher paying sectors like healthcare. But if you really want to know where Texas is seeing the best job growth, ask a Dallas technical recruiter.
The latest statistics are pointing to more jobs in the technical sector than ever, but not all of them are straight IT jobs. Many are in the engineering, healthcare and telecommunications fields. According to the Dallas technical recruiters at GTN Technical Staffing, the best way to position yourself for these jobs is by offering a diverse set of skills and enlisting the help of an experienced recruiter.
How can a Dallas technical recruiter help you score points among the top Dallas companies?
- Positioning – when your recruiter learns about an opportunity that may fit your abilities, they will position you as a candidate and make a “pitch” for you with the employer. This is a far more effective way of getting in the door than simply emailing them your resume and cover letter.
- Pre-emptive Strike – when you work with a Dallas technical recruiter, you will learn about career opportunities with top companies before the general public. With so many people now in the job market, some employers are opting to release new jobs first to recruiters, and then to the job boards. Learning about these opportunities first will give you a leg up on the competition.
- Closing the Deal – a professional recruiter will help you with follow up and salary negotiation too, even going to bat for you by asking for more vacation time or a higher starting salary. This is a real bonus if you’re the kind of person who has a hard time negotiating with a potential employer.
The best way to find out if the job numbers in Texas are “real” is by jumping into the job market yourself. While there are still more technical jobs in this state than in many other areas of the country, Texas is also getting a fair amount of publicity these days.
