We’re starting with California. From Apple to Wells Fargo, if you are looking for a job in California, these 10 employers and this one staffing firm would be good places to start since they have a combined total of 24,927 jobs open.
They are listed in descending order based on the number of jobs they currently have open in the state of California. The list is long because I’ve listed each city where they have jobs open plus the number of jobs open in that location. So, if you find openings in the right location for you, click on the employer name to be taken to the jobs posted on the employer websites. Then, check out your LinkedIn account to see if you know anyone who works there. Or has a friend who works there. Or a friend of a friend (you know how it works).
If you don’t live in California, don’t worry. Most of these employers have openings across the country (even the globe), so if one looks interesting to you, click on the company link to see if they have something in your location. I wouldn’t be surprised if they do! Check here next Monday – I’ll highlight another state’s top local employers on Monday Madness!
