It seems that 2021 has already been a year filled with big changes, ranging from the ways in which we socialize to how and where we work. With many people opting to jump on the freelancing or remote work bandwagon, there are definitely more opportunities than ever before.

But, exactly how and why did this all come to happen?
Looking at Our Lifestyle Choices

Due to the obvious events of the past year, it seems that everyone went through a period of true reflection. How many of our “friends” did we find that we could really do without? Did that job that we once loved seem so important anymore?

So many people looked at things that just never came to mind before, including proactively keeping up with their medical visits, and even learning more about life insurance. People stopped smoking and cut back on their carbs. We began to use our treadmills for more than a place to hang our clothes. It was finally time to take care of ourselves, for a change.

And, there was still more.
Continued Learning

As some found themselves with more time than ever before, continuing their education jumped to the top of many to-do lists. Online courses and certifications became very popular again, with a lot of companies actually investing in their own employees with unlimited growth opportunities.

And with so many different types of learning available, there were numerous ways that motivated workers could find to invest in a promotion, move to a different department or opt for a new career altogether.

Reassessing Your Skills

This has also been a good time to really take a hard look at what we’ve accumulated in our tool kits. When a marketer first starts a position in social media, he or she may possess a particular set of skills. But in less than a year, this individual is probably very sufficient at both email and content marketing, digital PR, and a handful of other marketing strategies.

However, it often takes an unplanned event, or some time to slow down and really look at where we are, to completely recognize the new skills that we’ve learned that now feel commonplace. Now, there are more things that we’re “good at,” meaning that our career possibilities have once again broadened, and our options have tripled or quadrupled.

In the End

As we begin to move through 2021, more and more business people realize that life is too short, indeed, to continue that role where they have no growth opportunities, or to mindlessly complete tasks where they feel little-to-no self-achievement. Many have left their 9-to-5 positions of 20-plus years to explore the freedom of freelancing work, while some have used a newly-earned degree to advance their careers to heights they could’ve never imagined.

If we’ve learned anything from 2020, it’s that we can apply all of the doubts and uncertainties to motivate us to be innovative, creative and inspired enough to make 2021 a year of change — for good.

1888 PressRelease – NationaLease member companies are posting more jobs for technicians and job seekers by the thousands are responding.

Since NationaLease, one of the largest full service truck leasing organizations in North America, launched its new Careers page one year ago, the number of job openings posted has grown 42%, while the number of job seekers who have responded to the openings is now in the thousands, according to Jane Clark, the group’s Vice President of Member Services.

Clark, a national authority in diesel technician recruitment, who oversees the online NationaLease Careers campaign, credits some of its success to the connection between the job postings in the upgraded Careers page on the NationaLease Website and job aggregator sites like Indeed.com. “Our upgraded Careers page is bringing in more applications, which has resulted in more hires for our member companies,” she said “Now that Indeed.com and other aggregators can access our Careers page and pull the job postings onto their sites, it’s significantly increased the traffic to our posts.”

Clark noted that among the greatest number of responses have been to postings for diesel mechanic and diesel technician. “Interestingly, though, we’ve found that the best keyword search term being used is ‘mechanic’ which is entered by applicants 32% more than the term ‘diesel mechanic’ and 50% more than the phrase ‘diesel technician,’” she said.

When it was launched, the Careers page was a huge improvement over the previous job posting page on the NationaLease site, according to Clark. Among the biggest enhancements was a new standardized posting form that asked prospective employers to supply information for each job offer meant to stimulate the interest of the job seekers. “After we ask the employers to describe their businesses, we suggest they tell job seekers what benefits they offer them,” she said. “With everyone vying for the same candidates, any information they can give that sets them apart from the competition can go a long way to achieving success.”

In addition to diesel technician being near the top of job titles offered by NationaLease members, other titles include general manager, fleet leasing account manager, administrative assistant, and of course, driver. The Midwest and the Mid-Atlantic areas are where most of the job searchers are coming from.
