If you’re looking for a job with more pay, opportunity or benefits, then now is the perfect time to revamp your resume and apply.
According to Glassdoor economist Daniel Zhuo, there are a number of unfilled jobs after the holiday slump that recruiters are eager to fill at the top of the year. And workers seem eager to apply: There has been a 22% boost in job applications started on Glassdoor’s platform in January.
“Our advice to job seekers is to be patient but proactive,” says Zhuo. “Job seekers should ride the wave of motivation into the new year but should be aware that recruiters and hiring managers may be slower to respond in January as they return from the holidays and sort through a higher-than-usual volume of applications.”
Using data from its platform, we have created a list of the best jobs in 2021 that job seekers should keep a close eye on. These jobs are ranked based on salary, a job satisfaction score on a scale of one to five, and number of job openings on Glassdoor’s platform.
