Who's Hiring Locally: Customer Service, Caregiver, Personal Keepsake Historian

Find out who's hiring locally plus work at home opportunities.

Welcome job seekers to the New Year of 2013! It’s great to be back in the work flow again! This year I wanted to include jobs with some new and upcoming businesses, interviews with various CEOs of major companies and and quality trainers, telecommuting opportunities and my new found favorite: job scam alerts.

This week features a look at two hot job trends and some other gems in the career world.  Do you know another language? If so, major companies are seeking out bi lingual customer service stars, especially in languages like Armenian, Vietnamese, Punjabi and etc are most sought after.

Another hot growing trend is the Caregiver industry. With the major budget cuts within In Home Support Services (IHSS) in California, more and more are seeking employment at these assisted senior living centers, rehabilitation centers and more.
