Coordinator Emma Murphy quoted in The Boston Herald BOSTON, June 25, 2009 - Kip Hollister, Founder and CEO of Boston staffing firm Hollister, Inc. and Emma Murphy, Hollister uk sale , Inc.'s PR Coordinator, are quoted in a June 14, 2009 Boston Herald article titled Help Wanted in Some Sectors by Carley Thornell and Renee Nadeau about how there are job opportunities in some burgeoning fields despite the grim economy.
"We are seeing the highest level of activity from clients since November," said Hollister. There's an interest in hiring new people, and positions that were on hold and new positions are opening up. There's a new sense of, 'We're at the bottom and we're starting to climb.'" One field showing growth is the green-energy sector, helped especially by the federal economic stimulus funds. The health care industry has also remained robust, with job openings in clinical, pharmacy, housekeeping, and food services. New research positions are also expected to emerge due to an increase in grant funding. The automotive industry is even hiring, with Ford hiring a half-dozen new sales buttociates. For job seekers, volunteering or interning is a terrific way to get a foot in the door of companies they're interested in working for, as Hollister employee Murphy demonstrated. She turned unpaid internships at Hollister and its creative partner 451 Marketing into part-time paid positions.
