Our sunny, pleasant year-round climate makes California a perfect place to tour wine country, take a beachside vacation, or visit a national park.<\/p>\n But in the wake of a recession or a pandemic, states with high hospitality and leisure sectors always lag behind when it comes to bouncing back. Hotels, restaurants, tourism, and recreation simply aren\u2019t a priority when the world is afraid to travel, is restricted on where they can go, and doesn\u2019t have the funds to spend on entertainment in the first place.<\/p>\n And when a large part of the California state economy relies heavily on these hospitality and recreational businesses to keep things afloat, it\u2019s no wonder we still find ourselves struggling to get ahead.<\/p>\n While many people who have worked in the hospitality sector are still struggling to find stable work, there are other sectors that are indeed growing in the state.<\/p>\n Personal care aids, nurse anesthetists, solar panel installation experts, and information security analyst careers are all on the uptick.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n While many professional careers such as these require a continued education, there\u2019s always the possibility of on-the-job training, equivalent work experience, or entry-level positions in some of these fields.<\/p>\n And thanks to extended learning opportunity grants passed in 2021<\/a>, it may be possible to get assistance while you pursue continued education.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_5,2_5″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”5px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/infinity-staffing.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Unemployment-Career-Options2.jpg” alt=”Unemployment Rate & Career Options” title_text=”Unemployment & Career Options” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” min_height=”332px” custom_margin=”-16px||1px|||” custom_padding=”8px|0px|0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” custom_margin=”-10px|||-17px||” custom_padding=”||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Finding yourself unemployed in California can feel overwhelming. The good news is, across the state, the economy has bounced back significantly faster already than it did in the 2008 recession.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re out of work, it may be time for a career pivot<\/a>. Be open-minded about the types of jobs you\u2019re willing to explore. A new career can feel scary and overwhelming, but facing your apprehensions with an open mind could truly be what you need to level up and experience job security again.<\/p>\n Now is a great time to brush up on your resume and practice for interviews<\/a>. It also could be a sound decision to explore temp jobs \u2013 or temp-to-hire positions \u2013 so you can get some funds flowing fast while you also gain valuable new skills.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”-13px|auto||auto||” custom_padding=”1px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” min_height=”509.2px” custom_margin=”-86px|||||” custom_padding=”0px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Infinity Staffing is an agency that works with employers who are hiring and job seekers who need work fast.
