Companies hiring this week

We’re in the final stretch of 2010. Have you made your resolutions? Have you hid all of last year’s leftover fruitcakes? Are you counting down the day’s until Dick Clark’s “New Year’s Rockin’ Eve?”

Although this is a hectic time of year and many of us were disheartened by the job numbers that came out last week, hiring isn’t an urban myth. Companies are hiring and they need you. Even in a time when applicants outnumber open positions by a healthy margin, quality matters more than quantity. Employers consistently cite a problem finding qualified employees, so don’t mistake slow hiring for no hiring. Polish that résumé and personalize that cover letter because companies are hiring and they’re not just looking for a worker, they’re looking for the best one.
