Health Care Careers Have a Bright Future
You’ve heard it before and we’ll say it again: The health care industry is booming! In fact, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that health care is the fastest-growing industry in the nation, with a projected increase of 2.3 million jobs by 2024.

What Do Health Care Employers Look For?
At most job fairs, those seeking employment feel like small fish in a big pond — there tend to be more job applicants than job openings. So you move from table to table, doing your best to stand out from the crowd.
At a health care career fair, however, the opposite is true — there are usually more job openings than qualified applicants. You are a big fish in a small pond, and employers will use their best bait to try to lure you into applying. Listen carefully to find out which positions are the best matches for your skills and experience.
