<ul class="summary-list"><li>Family offices can pay six-figure salaries but require intense dedication.</li><li>Selecting candidates often boils down to a "personality fit," recruiters said.</li></ul>People who work for family offices often juggle much more than just spreadsheets.Many ultra-wealthy people set up dedicated offices, which could have a handful or dozens of employees, to oversee their<a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/sergey-brin-wealth-management-jeff-bezos-family-offices-women-cios-2022-8"> investments</a>, philanthropy, and high-end toys, like<a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/biggest-yachts-owned-by-tech-billionaires-mark-zuckerberg-jeff-bezos-2024-5"> yachts</a>. An office might look after one person's money in one city or that of multiple generations across countries.Family office employees, in turn, can be paid on par with, or even better than, banking,<a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/private-equity-salaries-at-blackstone-apollo-kkr-bain-others"> private equity</a>, and other top finance jobs. But the unique nature of the job means headhunters are often looking beyond basic finance skills when scouting candidates for jobs.In recent years, Singapore has emerged as a global hotspot to set up family offices, thanks to its business-friendly environment and lack of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/singapore-attracts-ray-dalio-sergey-brin-family-offices-2021-2">capital gains tax</a>.Billionaires like Ray Dalio, the founder of Bridgewater Associates, and Google co-founder Sergey Brin have established family offices in the city-state. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/reliance-industries-mukesh-ambani-new-family-office-singapore-2022-10">Mukesh Ambani</a>, Asia's richest man, also expanded his wealth management operations to Singapore in 2022.Business Insider spoke to three recruiters for family offices, two of whom are based in Singapore, to find out which traits give a candidate the best shot of landing a job in a family office.<h2 id="250f7d12-74d8-46a4-828f-083dfef98f32">1. Jack of all trades</h2>Unlike many corporate jobs' clearly-defined responsibilities, family office staff — even executives — juggle a lot, said Paul Westall, the cofounder of Agreus Group."A chief investment officer of Goldman Sachs might not fit nicely into a family office because, at Goldman, they might have 10 analysts and two assistants, while in a family office, they do all the analysis and book their flights," Westall said.Jimmy Soh, a consultant at recruitment firm AP Executive, stressed the need to wear multiple hats and cultivate multiple specializations."Not only do you have to be an investment manager, but you also have to be a family council and any additional roles coming in like a concierge service," said Soh.One Hong Kong billionaire family asked Soh to hire an<a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/things-know-about-billionaires-wealthy-according-to-personal-assistant-2024-9"> executive assistant</a> with a $20,000 monthly salary. The candidate needed to be an accountant with an Ivy League degree who spoke three languages. The job description included planning the family's business and personal trips and managing their yacht and crew.<div type="image" title="Yacht Show Monaco" height="2620" width="4000" msid="113996580" hostid="261" sizebytes="1066772"></div>"Many families will say that the sky's the limit on the budget for these roles because they're looking for the best talent," said Soh. "They can indefinitely add more roles to the job description, which is how they justify this kind of salary."<h2 id="735b5822-dd6a-4c7c-9c35-3ee3c1b99fe1">2. Independence and all-hours commitment</h2>Family office roles also demand a high level of commitment.Phone calls could come at lunchtime — or in the middle of the night, Soh said."Most can be extremely demanding because they hire you for a specific role and can easily outsource the role to other firms," Soh said.In Asia, many family offices are still developing and roles are less defined than in Europe or the US. Candidates must often be willing to "<a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/lessons-hint-ceo-learned-doing-dirty-work-leader-2021-3">get their hands dirty</a> and work long hours for seven days a week," said Pierre Pineau, head of Agreus Group's Singapore office."Asian families, in general, expect you to be available 24/7, and that's not for everyone," said Pineau. "It's not about yourself. It's about what's best for the family office."The jobs can also require independence. Pineau said that in Asia's emerging markets, employees often work independently in one location while the family's main office is in another country.Westall said flexibility is key. He once hired a CIO whose job description included overseeing a family's investment in purebred racehorses. A top candidate — a former banker — had no experience in horses.<div type="image" title="Horse Racing Canada" height="3456" width="5184" msid="113996577" hostid="261" sizebytes="1371120"></div>"But then he got this job and rolled with it because he had to," said Westall. "Key people that last a long time in family offices build trust because when there's an issue, they resolve it with ideas from outside the box."<h2 id="1bba166f-2ad4-4b9b-8108-ea6b7b35d0a4">3. Managing multiple family members</h2>In family offices, technical brilliance alone isn't enough to secure a role. Working closely for one family means managing wealth and relationships."One of the main attributes family offices need is emotional intelligence — someone who can work with multiple people of different levels, from the son who's 16 and you need to explain certain decisions to him, to the wife, and the granddad," Agreus Group's Westall said.Candidates must also have the communication skills to navigate the dynamics and demands of different family members."You are presenting your work to people who might not be particularly financially savvy, unlike your peers at a bank," Westall said.AP Executive's Soh said that the "intangibles" — like interpersonal compatibility and standout personality traits— often make or break candidates."You might be extremely brilliant, but you might be a very hard person to work with or have some idiosyncrasies that might not gel well with the team," said Soh. "It comes down to your personality."Getting hired often hinges on<a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/personality-hires-bring-soft-skills-to-work-2023-11"> personality fit</a>, said Westall. Families might reject candidates for small details like how they walk or dress — but others are open to unconventional hires.Westall shared a story of a family office executive who started as a cleaner while he was in film school. He helped the family with a script they were writing and was eventually hired to oversee investments in the family's film business."Sometimes they are not always looking for someone with obvious experience, but someone who could add value in that family office," said Westall. "That's an unusual story, but there are some bizarre ways people can get into family offices."Do you have a story to share about working with or for high-net-worth individuals?

Climate Action 15: 2024's top global innovators powering green solutions

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Angel Hutchinson, a South African au pair, has cared for one child in Maryland since 2019.</li><li>Hutchinson has worked for four wealthy families since 2015, facing both challenges and perks.</li></ul>Angel Hutchinson, 31, was born and raised in Durban, South Africa, but now lives in Maryland, where she's worked as an <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/au-pair-care-vs-nanny-childcare-2024-1">au pair</a> for almost five years.Hutchinson's current employers are the fourth wealthy family she's worked for stateside since September 2015. She's parlayed those experiences into a<a target="_blank" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@angel__0209"> successful side hustle on TikTok</a>, helping other would-be au pairs follow in her footsteps.She told Business Insider that the difference between an au pair and a <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/nanny-share-benefits-less-expensive-childcare-social-interaction-2024-3">nanny</a> is in the scope of the role. "An au pair is like a cousin who lives with you and is part of the family — when they go out for dinner, you all go out for dinner," she said. "I'm the extra eyes for the parents."Hutchinson has had negative and positive experiences — in some families, she felt unwelcome and overworked, but in others, she's been whisked off on snowboarding trips and vacations in Puerto Rico.<h2 id="0711039e-5cc2-478c-afd6-4a14ece3c8d4">The job is quite low-paying, but there are perks</h2>Overseas applicants will likely be recruited under the <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/moved-us-student-visa-work-microsoft-green-card-2024-9">J-1 visa</a> rules. "It doesn't count as a job. It's more like a cultural exchange program, often below minimum wage. It is peanuts," she said.She said au pairs are not allowed to be required to work nights, in particular, but will typically work 45 hours per week and a maximum of 10 hours a day.Board and lodging are covered, but wages are considered pocket money: the<a target="_blank" href="https://www.aupairusa.org/au-pair-cost/#:~:text=The%20minimum%20weekly%20stipend%20for,stipend%20of%20%24225.00%20per%20week."> State Department has set a current minimum of $225.00 per week</a>. Some more seasoned au pairs, she said, make $300-350.She earns more than this because she negotiated a higher than minimum wage. "Au pairs are allowed to negotiate for more; however, most families pay this because au pairs are afraid to speak up."<h2 id="eb5135dd-4d4c-4edd-a1e2-e2f8a28605cb">The application process is rigorous but straightforward</h2>Hutchinson studied theology and planned to go into ministry full-time. "My family felt I was wasting my life by coming to live with another family, but I was frustrated with life at that moment. I was in a relationship but wasn't sure if I wanted to get married yet. So I was like, OK, I'm going to find out."Hutchinson's interest in becoming an au pair was sparked by her college dean, who talked fondly of her experiences as an au pair in America two decades earlier. "She still spoke with her family, who would visit her."She filled out the forms and paid fees to one of the many agencies she found online — around 1300 ZAR, or about $70. She had to have a driver's license and a high school education and undergo medical checks.Once accepted, she was asked to upload a profile, including a video, which interested families could browse. Typically, they would video chat with a potential au pair from afar before hiring one for a 12-month position.<h2 id="431f484e-69df-4fc8-91de-6300511c1208">Hutchinson was unhappy with her first two families</h2>Hutchinson's first employers didn't ring alarm bells until she landed in America. "I remember getting a tour of the house, and when I was done, they told me to go unpack my stuff in my room. I closed the door and bawled my eyes out," she said. "I just felt like something was off."This couple were wealthy Indian-Americans in New Jersey; the father was a pharmaceutical VP, and the mother a medical director. There were two children, aged 13 and 6, where the latter was Hutchinson's prime focus. "It felt like they were unprepared for me or had forgotten I was coming in the three months since we last spoke."The main issue was a misunderstanding of her role, stretching the definition of childcare. "I had to water the plants — because they were the kid's favorite. I had to dust the cupboard — because the kid's doll was on top of it."She also struggled to connect with the kids, as they would speak Bengali to their parents. She quickly asked for a rematch (au pair speak for resigning). "They said you can't go because we've already had two girls leave before you."A week later, Hutchinson's father died, and she was offered compassionate leave to return to South Africa for the funeral. Once home, she rematched there, returning three weeks later to a different family, but not a better situation.This was another New Jersey-based family, with two school-age kids of 5 and 8, a mother who worked as a deputy principal, and a father who ran a tech business. The mom had described her kids to Hutchinson as "having a lot of energy."The truth was more complicated: Her special needs kids were in therapy and rarely able to play with other au pairs' children at the playground. The daughter was particularly difficult for Hutchinson to care for.<h2 id="43f3c48b-429a-4db1-b767-bc0a04acbab1">The third family was a better fit</h2>By January 2016, Hutchinson was primed to return to South Africa, but she tried to rematch one last time. This family proved life-changing. "I still visit them to this day," she said.This Colorado-based couple, both anesthesiologists, had a 9-year-old daughter and a 3-year-old son. They lived in the mountains and drove a nine-seater Denali. "We went on vacation a lot. They're a snowboarding family, so they taught me, and we went camping."She never felt pressured to work late and could come and go as she pleased. Hutchinson felt very much at home in the Rockies. "The people were so welcoming in <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/biggest-culture-shocks-after-moving-from-italy-to-colorado-2024-8">Colorado</a> — it's by far the best place I lived."<h2 id="bcc44968-fb3f-4d6d-9063-520f63ed6167">She went back to South Africa, but it wasn't a forever move</h2>After that stay, she went home. Two years later, after spending time in South Africa looking after a boy for a German family in her neighborhood, she decided to come back to the States.A different, wealthy family spotted her video and asked if she'd consider coming to live with them in Maryland. The mother was a thoracic surgeon, and the father was a VP. They had one young child, barely 6 at the time.The moment she arrived in September 2019, Hutchinson felt at home. "They were overprepared, trying to ensure I had the best time ever."Almost five years later, Hutchinson is so settled with them that she's more like a surrogate daughter. They buy her a pair of the family's matching pajamas at Christmas, and she's always invited to family gatherings. "The only time I don't do something with them is if I don't want to."She also drives a brand-new VW Jetta. "In other families, you have to share a car to go to the store or have to ask. This one said 'We bought this car for you to use. You can have freedom and a sense of independence. Come and go when you want.'"She doesn't work weekends, which frees her up to socialize. "All the people I now call my best friends are Americans I met at church." Hutchinson said it's partly because her principles in life align with those of her current employer that she finds the job so rewarding.<div type="image" title="three girls take a selfie in New York City" height="2268" width="4032" msid="113521902" hostid="261" sizebytes="637314"></div><h2 id="b61bd862-494a-40c2-9bb6-7ecb033be40a">She decided to make America her permanent home</h2>Hutchinson is currently waiting for approval for her <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/big-tech-green-card-applications-pause-2024-5">green card</a>, which those employers sponsored. She's applied via her visa, this time an EB-3, or skilled worker.She's still waiting on paperwork, but once her au pair time concludes, she plans to pursue a different path. "I've always been fascinated with the tech world. I'm hoping to pursue a career in that industry."Want to share your story? Email Lauryn Haas at lhaas@businessinsider.com.

An au pair for wealthy families shares the highs and lows of the unpredictable job

India currently faces a shortage of 2.41 million skilled workers in the telecom sector in the 5G era, which is forecast to jump by 3.8 times by 2030, a report showed on Friday. The country will require 22 million skilled workers in 5G-focused industries by 2025, in areas such as cloud computing, robots and the Internet of Things (IoT). One of the key challenges is that only 40 per cent of India's graduates in computer science, IT, and math are employable in the technology sector due to the mismatch between academic requirements and industry demands, according to the report by the Telecom Sector Skill Council (TSSC), launched in association with enterprise decision-making platform Draup at the India Mobile Congress (IMC) 2023 here. The number of employed talent in the Indian telecom industry is currently 11.59 million, with 2.95 million corporate talent and 8.24 million blue-collar talent. According to the report, India is the only country expected to have a skilled labour surplus, with 1.3 million workers in the technology, media and telecommunications (TMT) sector by 2030. "In anticipation of the upcoming 6G era, our focus remains on aligning our skilling initiatives with cutting-edge technologies, ensuring a workforce ready for the future of telecom," said Atul Tiwari, Secretary, <keyword id="2485309" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="ministry-of-skill-development" source="Orion">Ministry of Skill Development</keyword> and Entrepreneurship. The report, titled '<keyword id="19288877" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="telecom-talent" source="Orion">Telecom Talent</keyword> in 5G Era: Demand Supply Skill Gap Report 2023-24', highlighted that across 15 top streams, network operation and maintenance and project engineering have the most corporate talent, while network operation and maintenance and sales and distribution - service segment have the most blue-collar talent. According to Arvind Bali, CEO, TSSC, the telecom sector is the third-largest industry in India that accounts for roughly 6.5 per cent of all FDI inflow and also by 2027, the country is anticipated to account for 11 per cent of all 5G subscriptions worldwide. "India has a good chance to close the growing demand-supply gap by 2030 with the proper reskilling and hiring strategies that target adjacent talent in tier 2 and 3 cities and university supply," said Bali. With the help of AI, even more powerful 6G network technologies will emerge in the future, the report mentioned.

By the end of 2023, there are expected to be as many as 18.5 million of such jobs across industries and this will almost double by 2047, says Teamlease. Here is the catch – while universities and colleges are catching up, it’s not as fast as the demand growth. The growth in green job postings is around 15% in the last one year, says LinkedIn. Naukri pegs it as high as 27% with the EV sector being the star. “According to the Global Green Skills Report 2023 by LinkedIn, India has seen a 140% jump in auto industry workers with Electric Vehicle(EV) skills from 2018-23. This is the highest growth rate globally,” said Hari Krishnan Nair, Co-founder, Great Learning. Jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs Green jobs are expected to almost double by 2047, i.e. touch 35 million. Apart from electrification of vehicles, greening the entire supply chain through green procurement, electrification of fleets, reduction of waste, packaging and optimization of inventory — is also expected to produce more jobs. “The jobs are at all levels — from entry, mid and senior level. While entry level jobs are on creating and implementing <keyword id="95422" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Green-Technology" source="Orion">green technology</keyword> and supporting consulting practices and R&amp;D. The mid and senior levels are mostly around R&amp;D, supervisory and project ownership roles and more strategic in nature,” said Sumit Kumar, chief business officer, TeamLease Degree Apprenticeship. Green job roles are being created around sustainability, environmental, social and governance (ESG). “Governance specialists, renewable energy experts, being hired across sectors where there is an immense focus on sustainability and ESG,” said Parag Ghatpande, director - assessment solutions at Aon India. <table style="border-width: initial;

Krishnan says that the rapid industrial expansion outpaces curriculum updates in colleges, resulting in a shortage of skilled talent. Most of the expertise that’s needed to drive India’s green transformation requires strong foundational STEM (Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) skills. “Currently, the key qualifications needed for such (green) roles would be an engineering degree with 5-10 years’ experience within the sustainability sector and experience of sustainability certification schemes,” says Ghatpande. In fact, most of the jobs require engineering degrees — both standalone or specialised to environment science. “The common degrees are Environmental Science or Engineering for roles in environmental conservation and management. Renewable Energy Engineering or Sustainable Energy Studies for careers in the renewable energy sector. Agricultural Science or Sustainable Agriculture for those interested in sustainable farming practices,” says Jaideep P Kewalramani, head of employability business and COO, TeamLease EdTech. Green certifications in vogue On top of the basic degrees, there are certifications as well. Green Building Certifications such as LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) for sustainable construction and architecture. Certifications in Environmental Management like ISO 14001, for professionals focusing on sustainability within organisations. For now, organisations which quickly need a lot of employees with green skills are developing talent by upskilling and reskilling the existing workforce on green technologies. “Also there is an active collaboration with academia in curating programs to create talent pipelines,” says Kumar. Added to that several online learning platforms offer tailored certificate courses and modules to help professionals kickstart their careers in the EV industry. “These courses often feature industry-relevant curricula, real-world projects, live mentorship by experts, and expert-led masterclasses,” says Krishnan. India is steadfast in its commitment to go green. As such jobs explode, it’s up to the professionals and young aspirants to build their green skills to move towards a sustainable career ahead.

India’s green jobs are growing but are colleges ready to supply the talent?

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Big tech companies have pulled back on PERM applications, often the first step to a green card.</li><li>Huge layoffs by Google, Amazon, Meta and other tech companies have made the process harder. </li></ul><a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/category/big-tech">Big tech</a> companies have backed off <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/america-immigration-needs-reform-losing-workers-2023-3">green card</a> applications in a big way because the process has become tougher and there's less competition for talent.This situation is making it harder for foreign tech workers to stay in the US, and it may mean overseas candidates have to search far beyond Silicon Valley and New York City for jobs in the industry.<a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/google-requests-update-immigration-rules-hire-top-ai-talent-2024-5">Google</a> stopped so-called PERM applications in January 2023, the same month it laid off 12,000 employees. PERM is a certification process run by the Department of Labor. It aims to ensure that admitting foreign workers into the country doesn't impact US workers' job opportunities, wages, or working conditions. It's often the first step toward a green card.Earlier this year, Googlers were told the company wouldn't restart the PERM process until at least Q1 2025, according to a current employee with direct knowledge of the matter. A Google spokesperson declined to comment."Tech companies have been following Google's lead and taking their foot off the pedal in terms of green card applications," said <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benachcollopy.com/ava-benach/">Ava Benach</a>, founding partner of Benach Collopy, a leading immigration law firm in Washington DC. "Google has an outsized influence here," she added. "It has a reputation for treating workers well and leading on these things, so if Google stepped back, then this gives other tech companies cover to step back, too."<h2>Amazon and Meta moves</h2>Earlier this year, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-suspended-us-green-card-applications-foreign-workers-2024-4">Amazon</a> told employees it would continue to pause all new PERM filings through 2024, according to an internal announcement seen by Business Insider.Amazon said in the memo it had initially paused PERM applications in 2023 and decided to keep these suspended until the end of this year after reviewing "labor market conditions and immigrant requirements."While <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/mark-zuckerberg-plan-meta-make-money-from-ai-2024-4">Meta</a> continues to undertake green card sponsorships for international hires, the process has become painfully slow. Getting a green card through Meta is now taking "a year or more," a current employee with knowledge of Meta's hiring processes said.<h2>PERM is a lot harder now</h2>A wave of <a target="_blank" rel="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-layoffs">job cuts</a> by Google, Amazon, Meta, and other tech companies has made the PERM process more complicated.Companies now have to demonstrate that laid-off employees are not qualified for the jobs intended for foreign workers. They also <a target="_blank" rel=" nofollow" href="https://bashyamglobal.com/blog/the-impact-of-layoffs-on-the-perm-process/">have to notify people</a> who were laid off in the past six months about job openings before filing PERM applications for foreign workers."With more US workers available for open positions, the labor market test fails and so the process becomes a waste of time and money for these tech companies," Benach explained. "If tech companies have done layoffs relatively recently, they also have to notify laid off workers of new positions that may be going to foreign workers," she added. "If some of these people say 'yes, I'm interested,' then you're out of luck with the green card application."Meta's <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/layoff-angst-meta-employees-face-tough-reviews-reorgs-2024-3">multiple rounds</a> of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/meta-vps-leave-ahead-of-thousands-more-layoffs-2023-5">mass layoffs</a> reduced the company's headcount by over 20%. The company is now <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/meta-rehiring-workers-from-layoffs-2023-8">hiring again</a>, but it is having to work harder to explain to US Citizenship and Immigration Services why international workers are needed."It's hard to justify PERM after laying off people," the Meta employee told BI.<h2>Supply and demand</h2>Big tech companies may also be less willing to pursue green cards because of changes in supply and demand across the tech labor market.The industry went on a record hiring spree in the previous decade, and this only intensified during the pandemic boom. When big tech companies were fighting over a limited supply of tech talent, the PERM process was a useful weapon to wield."This is a cumbersome, arduous process that no one likes. It often happens when companies are competing intensely for talent," Benach explained. "Saying 'we'll do your green card for you,' is a great perk to attract the best tech employees.""So when, like now, there are more tech workers on the market, these companies don't have to do this as much," she added. "They are not all scrambling for talent anymore, or at least not as much."<h2>Alternatives for foreign tech workers</h2>What should foreign tech workers do if their current employer is taking too long with PERM applications, or has stopped the process entirely?Benach advises candidates to look outside of the Bay Area and New York City for tech jobs in the US. Many other employers across the country need people with science, technology, engineering, and math qualifications, she noted."It's not just Google and the other big Silicon Valley companies," Benach said. "Other companies in other parts of the country are in desperate need of tech workers."Labor market tests for the PERM process are by their nature local. And there are fewer tech workers in other parts of the country, with some people unwilling to move far for jobs. So this makes the green card process potentially easier outside of places like the Bay Area and NYC, she explained.<h2>Big Tech is trying alternatives, too</h2>In an email to BI, an Amazon spokesperson said the company is working with affected employees to find "alternative immigration pathways" to extend their stay in the US.To get around PERM hurdles, some companies are opting to classify international hires as applicants for a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.uscis.gov/newsroom/alerts/uscis-updates-guidance-on-national-interest-waivers">National Interest Waiver</a>, the Meta employee noted.An NIW application can be done without corporate sponsorship, so an employee can "self-petition" without a specific job offer in hand. This process classifies foreign candidates as people with specific skills and experience that would benefit the US if they became permanent residents.NIW applications jumped in 2023, according to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/reports/stem_related_petition_trends_eb2_and_o1a_categories_factsheet_fy23.pdf">data</a> from the US Citizenship and Immigration Services.<h2>Google wants to change the roles</h2>Google is trying to fix PERM bottlenecks. On Wednesday, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/google-requests-update-immigration-rules-hire-top-ai-talent-2024-5">it filed a letter with the Department of Labor</a> arguing for changes that broaden the list of roles that can be fast-tracked to a green card.This "<a target="_blank" href="https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/12/21/2023-27938/labor-certification-for-permanent-employment-of-foreign-workers-in-the-united-states-modernizing">Schedule A</a>" list focuses on jobs the Labor Department considers to be poorly supplied with talent. It hasn't been updated in 20 years, and Google argues the list hasn't evolved to meet the needs of the modern labor market.Google is in particular need of AI experts and the company says it will be hard to hire them all."We project that our need for AI Engineer roles, including Software Engineer, Research Engineer, and Research Scientist roles, will increase significantly in the coming years," Google wrote in the letter. "AI advancements offer incredible promise, but the lack of skilled professionals threatens to hinder their full potential."Are you a foreign tech worker struggling with a green card application?

Big Tech's big green card problem

<ul><li><keyword id="472014" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="green-jobs" source="Orion">Green jobs</keyword> or jobs in the ESG space, can be found in a wide range of industries, from renewable energy, and clean technology, to sustainable agriculture, and waste management. </li><li>March 2023 saw approximately 19,379 active job postings for ESG roles. </li><li>December 2022, and January 2023 saw the highest number of such jobs closed in India. </li><li>Organizations are looking for applicants with qualifications in energy, social environment, sustainable business management and environmental studies. </li></ul>The Future of Jobs Report 2023, by the World Economic Forum, did strike a warning note saying that 26 million jobs will be wiped out globally by 2027. However, a macrotrend listed in the report deserves attention. According to the report, businesses expect that the greatest net job creation impact will come from investments that support the green transformation of businesses, the wider adoption of ESG standards, and the localization of supply chains. While this is a broader trend that will change the future job landscape as much as AI will, now is perhaps the best time ever to build a career in ESG. “ESG as an industry or segment is growing and in India while we are late at it, I think in India the main reason for ESG growth is largely because you now have the government initiatives and the target of being net zero by 2070,” says says Munira Loliwala, business head, TeamLease Digital, a tech staffing solutions firm. Growth in <keyword id="14096025" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="esg-jobs" source="Orion">ESG jobs</keyword> ESG jobs are employment opportunities centered around Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors. These roles involve responsibilities related to sustainable business practices, impact investing, corporate social responsibility, environmental preservation, social justice, diversity and inclusion, ethical governance, and related areas. According to TeamLease Digital, between 2021 and 2022, <keyword id="17432479" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="esg-hiring" source="Orion">ESG hiring</keyword> and new demands grew almost by more than 147%, as compared to 2020-2021, wherein the post Covid year marked almost 85% of growth in hiring by organizations in India. March 2023 saw approximately 19,379 of active job postings for ESG roles, while December 2022, and January 2023 saw the highest number of jobs closed. The average number of ESG jobs posted stood at 12,400 between December 2022, and March 2023, while the average number of closed positions were 14,136. The average number of active ESG related jobs were 24,000. Organizations embracing ESG “ESG plays an important role if India has to attract global investments. ESG increases the chances of investments or chances of the acquisitions that most of the Indian companies today are looking at,” says Loliwala. Both big and small corporations in India have embraced ESG. Reliance Industries, for example, has integrated ESG into their business models. Led by their chief financial officer, their ESG team is a multi-disciplinary group responsible for all of Reliance’s environmental sustainability, stakeholder engagement and regulatory compliance activities. In order to enhance their commitment to ESG principles, HDFC Bank has formed an ESG committee. This committee consists of senior members from key departments within the bank and is chaired by a member of the senior management team. The ESG committee is responsible for developing and implementing the bank's ESG strategy, as well as establishing a roadmap to achieve the set targets. They report to the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) committee of the Board of Directors, providing updates on the bank's ESG strategy and progress. kindlife, a beauty and wellness platform which launched in 2020, has a strong ESG focus. “Our ESG goals are only achievable with a strong team who works tirelessly to bring our vision to life. We work closely with internationally renowned advisors armed with over 20 years of experience. We’ve worked closely with the World Bank and government bodies in the sustainability and clean energy space,” says Radhika Ghai, founder and CEO, kindlife. They have a team of two consultants who are guiding them with assessing their impact across various parameters and projects. They are also gearing towards their next critical goal of 100% carbon neutrality and a sustainable score for brands and products for which they are working closely with Sishir Garemella, a clean energy and climate technology expert. Talent in demand ESG jobs do not necessarily require skills in the sustainability domain. “Green jobs or jobs in the ESG space, can be found in a wide range of industries, from renewable energy and clean technology to sustainable agriculture and waste management. There are three categories of green jobs based on their degree of dependence on green skills,” says Manu Saigal, director, general staffing, Adecco India. Jobs that require green skills: These are jobs that cannot be performed without specialized knowledge of environmental sustainability. Examples include renewable energy technicians, environmental engineers, and sustainability consultants. Jobs with significant potential to create and hone green skills: “These are jobs that are not necessarily focused on environmental sustainability but have the potential to develop green skills,” says Saigal. Examples include architects and construction workers who build energy-efficient buildings and farmers who use sustainable agriculture practices. Jobs that do not require green skills: “These are jobs that are not specifically related to environmental sustainability but may contribute to sustainability indirectly,” says Saigal. Examples include accountants who work for green businesses and marketing professionals who promote environmentally friendly products. The crucial aspect of ESG is now focused on proper data analysis, collection, reporting, investigation, and filing. The typical structure involves using various frameworks to collect and analyze data, which requires hiring individuals at entry-level and mid-level positions with backgrounds in computer science, mathematics, or engineering. ESG data is considered a type of alternative data that can be utilized in the analysis of companies. As a result, investors and hedge funds are utilizing it to identify investment opportunities with lower risk by assessing a company's favourable environmental and ethical factors. Organizations are also looking to appoint applicants who have qualifications in energy, social environment, sustainable business management and environmental studies, wind and solar energies. And one important subject could also be economics and law. A lot of certification courses are available in this space today. There are courses on sustainability accounting, reporting and sustainable investing. <keyword id="17432478" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="esg-job-roles" source="Orion">ESG job

Green jobs: A career option that actually impacts lives & the environment

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Only 1 in 8 workers globally have the green skills companies are looking for, according to LinkedIn.</li><li>The gap is most acute among women, highlighting an emerging "green ceiling." </li></ul>The green transition is widely expected to <a target="_blank" href="https://action.deloitte.com/insight/3340/an-overview-of-green-job-growth">create millions of new jobs</a> around the world.The trouble is, there aren't enough workers with the right skills, a recent LinkedIn analysis of user data found."We are nowhere close to where we need to be," Efrem Bycer, senior lead manager of public policy and economic graph at LinkedIn, told Business Insider. "We need to accelerate that green talent development, not just because of the planetary imperative, but there's also a whole bunch of economic opportunity that we're leaving on the table."Only 1 in 8 workers globally have the green skills companies are looking for — such as measuring carbon emissions, building solar, wind, and electric vehicle projects, preventing waste, and protecting water quality, LinkedIn found. The gap is most acute among women: 9 in 10 of whom don't have a single green skill or work experience.LinkedIn analyzed data from the more than 1 billion people and 65 million companies using its site between January 2016 and August 2023. The company classified several hundred skills as "green" and studied changes across those profiles during that time period.Bycer noted that workers with green skills have better job prospects. This year, the green hiring rate was 29% higher than the overall market. But it can be hard to break into the field because many jobs require prior experience. That means employers will have to rethink how they hire to keep pace with demand, LinkedIn's analysis found.Employers should be connecting their climate goals to the workforce, and then investing in "precise talent development," Bycer said. And even if someone doesn't have a green title in their current job, their skills could transfer.People who've worked in project management, sales, or customer support may be a good fit for jobs in solar consulting, Bycer said. At LinkedIn, they need experts in procurement and supply chain management to help reduce their carbon footprint. Knowing how to measure and track a company's carbon footprint is one of the fastest growing skills in the US.Bycer said the fact that the current green talent pool is predominantly men — or 66% — is a big problem that highlights an emerging "green ceiling."One way to close <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/female-electricians-helping-to-set-climate-goals-help-economy-2023-9">that barrier in the trades</a>, such as construction and electrical work, is targeted outreach for apprenticeship programs. Attaching wraparound services like childcare to those programs would help remove a barrier for women, Bycer said.There are some encouraging signs. Women have been joining the green talent pool, defined as having one green skill or one job experience, at a higher rate than men. The pace just isn't fast enough to close the gap, LinkenIn's analysis showed.Women are also 64% more likely to have skills related to sustainability education and about 20% more likely to have skills related to sustainable development and the circular economy, LinkedIn found. Women working in the oil, gas, and mining sectors have more green skills than men.Bycer said another bright spot is how both climate and labor experts within governments and companies are talking about the problem."I hear a lot more climate experts talking about jobs, and a lot more workforce experts talking about climate," Bycer said. "Those groups don't often get together."Correction November 21, 2023 — An earlier version of this story misspelled Efrem Bycer's last name. It's Bycer, not Byzer.

Millions of sustainability jobs are available to people with the right skills. The problem: Many don't have them, especially women.

"Job seekers have probably seen this, where they've applied for jobs at different companies and experienced different ATS systems and different parsing each time."Employers may also be asking you to re-enter your work history because job application portals frequently require that candidates sign off to attest that the information they provided is accurate; employers typically don't receive the same certification that you're not <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/lying-on-job-resume-how-i-did-it-2023-4">lying on your résumé</a>.And of course, there's also a much simpler reason to re-enter your job information."Some hiring managers find it off-putting when candidates write 'see résumé' — like you're saying 'your instructions don't apply to me,'" Alison Green, who runs the workplace advice website Ask a Manager, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.askamanager.org/2023/04/is-it-bad-to-write-see-resume-in-online-application-systems.html">wrote</a> on the subject last year.Fortunately, filling out these fields can be as simple as copying and pasting what's already in your résumé.Green added in her post that besides <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/why-this-is-an-excellent-resume-2013-11">having a main, formatted version of your resume ready for applications</a>, it's helpful to also keep a plain text version to transfer information quickly."Make sure that you have the same information in both places so that no matter what system employers are using or what they're looking at, they can see the appropriate information about your skills, experiences, and accomplishments to know that you are the right candidate for the job," said Frana.

Investments in the green sector have also proliferated compared to conventional fuel-based projects, enabling the creation of substantial jobs across the sector. Moreover, a 64% month-on-month (MoM) growth was reflected in green job postings, with industries such as industrial products, heavy machinery and waste management hosting the maximum share in hiring demand. This is an all-time high for green job postings on the foundit platform with both private and public sector companies integrating ESG (environmental, social and governance) practices as a central part of their business operations and transitioning to clean energy practices. Says Sekhar Garisa, CEO, foundit, “With an allocation of ₹35,000 crore of priority capital investment towards achieving net zero by 2070, the commitment towards addressing climate change and building a sustainable future is evident. India’s solar and wind energy sectors are adding thousands of workers to new projects and will continue to create steady employment opportunities. However, the enormous demand for green roles is quickly outpacing the availability of skilled talent required in these fields. Hence, consistent and intelligent upskilling and development is crucial to create an efficient green workforce in the coming months.” According to the report, among job roles, sustainability managers (26%) are highest in demand as companies across construction and manufacturing consciously try to account for the environmental impact of their activities. Other roles in demand include environmental consultants (11%), ESG analysts (17%), safety specialists (15%), and design engineers (9%). These emerging jobs are the outcome of the growing number of corporations in India recruiting a skilled workforce trained in climate action to facilitate technological shifts and structured financing mechanisms to finally achieve net-zero emissions. Environmental service and waste management industries experienced an astounding 1,765% annual growth in hiring activity. This surge can be attributed to the growing consciousness among Indian companies to safeguard natural resources and ensure proper waste disposal. Moreover, increased emphasis on addressing the pressing issue of rapid urbanisation in India has led to a significant increase in solid waste management initiatives. The automobile industry (307%) has also seen a rise in demand for green professionals. With active measures being taken to cap transport emissions – such as designing sustainably, making better use of manufacturing resources, and sourcing ethically and responsibly – auto manufacturers are also investing heavily in electric vehicles (EVs) to reduce their environmental impact. Moreover, the EV market is gearing up to downsize vehicle emissions, making it one of the fastest-growing markets in the country. Additionally, the demand for green professionals is high in chemicals, petrochemicals, plastics, and rubber (220%) industries followed by FMCG (42%) and construction (30%). Considering the rapid growth in green jobs, there is an urgent need to create a workforce adept in newer skills, many of which are related to technology. The report points out that today's workforce needs to upskill to meet the rising demand as organisations scout for skilled talent in AI (artificial intelligence), automation, IoT (internet of things) and other emerging tech. With the demand-supply crunch that exists in the market today, an expansive and inclusive curriculum that focuses on climate tech, green entrepreneurship and sustainability holds the potential to build a productive green economy in India with sectors such as solar energy, electric mobility, and e-waste expected to create the most jobs in the future, foundit said.

India Inc. sees 81% annual increase in green jobs in January: foundit

Alyssa DeOliveira followed a well-worn path: go to college, get a degree, find a white-collar job. Her mother always told her she'd grow up to be a doctor, lawyer, or politician, so she tried nursing and accounting before settling on criminal justice, landing a job at a law firm. For a little over a year she arrived every morning at about 8. She listened to voicemails and checked emails. If she was lucky, she left at 5. But she yearned to work with people. Nearly three years ago, she started looking for something less tedious that didn't happen almost entirely in front of a computer screen.Today, should you find yourself in Boston riding the T's green line, DeOliveira might be your conductor. Sometimes she's at work at 4 a.m.; other times she's there until 1 a.m. Some days she drives the up-front train — her favorite model has a foot brake, so it's almost like driving a big car — and other days she drives broken trains into the yard for repairs. One thing is consistent: She loves her job. And benefits-wise, her job loves her."I'm making almost double what I was making at the office job," she said. "My office job didn't give me a 401(k), but with the T, I have the pension, I have healthcare."DeOliveira is part of an ascendant shift: Blue-collar work — <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bls.gov/mwe/factsheets/blue-collar-jobs-factsheet.htm">officially defined</a> as jobs that handle or move material goods, and colloquially thought of as jobs that don't require sitting in front of a screen — has once again assumed a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/recession-oulook-blue-collar-jobs-powering-economy-pay-stability-2023-5">competitive position</a> within the American labor market. Demand is high, opportunities abound, and companies like <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/walmart-wants-employees-own-more-stock-company-2024-2">Walmart</a> and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/ups-170k-deal-driver-job-searches-soar-union-wage-increase-2023-8">UPS</a> offer six-figure salaries and lucrative benefits. In White-Collar World, meanwhile, campuses have cheaper snacks, remote work is a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/moving-away-big-city-bad-career-job-market-suburbs-2024-4">career trap</a>, layoffs loom, and AI robots circle like vultures.DeOliveira said that outside Boston, where she grew up, the thinking was if you do blue-collar work, "you're not as smart as someone who went to college, you're not as dedicated." Now, she told me, blue-collar work is an oasis in the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bustle.com/life/fake-email-jobs">fake-email-job desert</a>, with a newfound social cachet. "For my family, they look at it differently now," she said. "I tell my cousins that are still in school, look into the trades if you don't know what you want to do."Across America, it's getting hot under the blue collar.Chris Collins has been a plumber for two decades. After finishing high school, he moved to eastern Tennessee in search of pretty much any type of work. But with no college degree and visible tattoos dotting his arms, he found that prospective employers sidelined him. Then he heard about a plumber looking for help. He showed up the next morning, and the rest is pipe-fixing history: He got trained, got licensed, and, in 2008, struck out on his own. Business, he said, never skipped a beat, even when the market crashed."I remember telling my parents that I was getting into the trades, and they were just like: 'This is awful. Go to college, go to college, be an IT guy or a doctor,'" Collins told me. He believes they wanted more for him. But as they watched his career take off, they came to understand that plumbing did offer more. Collins traced the shift around blue-collar work back to 2018 or 2019, when social media became a way for people to peek behind the trades curtain. As Steven Kurutz wrote for <a target="_blank" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/28/style/tiktoks-finest-lobsterman.html">The New York Times</a>, early influencers focused on curating the most aesthetically pleasing lives possible. Then people began to wonder who crafted that pretty finery. Who catches the lobster that ends up on that hand-painted porcelain platter? Who builds that cavernous house packed with Eames chairs? As the wild popularity of "day in the life" vignettes made clear, people loved what that peek afforded. If Instagram incentivized a still-life aesthetic pleasure neatly tucked into a square frame, TikTok incentivized action — and the people who spend their lives moving or building things were rewarded with views.At the same time, millennials and younger workers wrestled with a <a target="_blank" href="https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/SLOAS">snowballing amount of student-loan debt</a> for degrees that didn't seem worth the price tag. The median wage for recent college graduates with a bachelor's degree <a target="_blank" href="https://www.newyorkfed.org/research/college-labor-market#--:explore:wages">actually fell</a> to $52,210 in 2017 from $54,593 in 2016 — and it stayed below that 2016 level through 2019. (It has since zigzagged.) Surveys have indicated that Gen Zers <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/gen-z-value-of-college-higher-education-student-debt-tuition-2023-12">view</a> college degrees with even more suspicion than millennials, which may suggest a long tail for the blue-collar boom.These years were crucial for other reasons, too. Bernie Sanders, long a champion of working people, leapt from Congress to the national presidential stage. As blue-collar companies <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/labor-shortage-better-benefits-blue-collar-jobs-2021-11">struggled to staff up</a>, they <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/companies-raising-wages-workers-pandemic-hiring-chipotle-costco-target-walmart-2021-5">turned toward raising wages</a>. Then came the pandemic — and a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/2023-year-of-the-strike-unions-sag-aftra-uaw-2023-12">radical shift</a> in how many Americans viewed work. White-collar workers saw the sun set on the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/zirp-end-of-cushy-big-tech-job-perks-mass-layoffs-2024-2">zero-interest-rate phenomenon</a> and watched how easily their roles could disappear. Many blue-collar workers, meanwhile, were deemed "essential." They were put in harm's way, often at the hands of bosses who didn't care about their health. Suddenly there was a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/hazard-pay-essential-workers-coronavirus-2020-5">consensus</a> that they deserved to be <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/essential-workers-coronavirus-hazard-pay-layoff-protection-ppe-2020-5">paid more</a> — or at the very least, respected. In a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.expresspros.com/uploadedFiles/Corporate/Corporate_US/Content/Documents/Blue-Collar-Whitepaper-2022-US.pdf">survey conducted in late 2021</a>, 67% of blue-collar workers said they believed the pandemic changed how people viewed their jobs, and 75% of white-collar workers agreed. And while 62% of blue-collar workers said they believed that society generally looked down on them, 60% indicated they believed that having a blue-collar job was respected more than it was 10 years ago.While blue-collar work still tends to pay less than white-collar professions, ADP found that last year new hires in the construction industry had a median salary of $48,089, while new hires in professional services made a median salary of $39,520. And in March, construction and mining wages were up 6.3% year over year — well above overall wage growth of 5.2% in the same period.Between 1979 and 2019 "there was pretty much zero growth in terms of real wages for this group," said Elise Gould, a senior economist at the Economic Policy Institute. But over the past four years she's found that wages have increased for low-wage workers, and it's not a coincidence. It was partly a result of pandemic-era economic policy that stood in contrast to the more austere measures taken during the Great Recession. The money pouring into unemployment benefits and Americans' wallets — alongside protections like checks for parents and eviction moratoriums — meant that lower earners had not only a cushion, but more <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/expanded-unemployment-benefits-ending-labor-day-americans-lives-were-changed-2021-8">opportunities to job hop</a>. Those increases for the bottom 10% were <a target="_blank" href="https://www.epi.org/publication/swa-wages-2023/?mc_cid=4cb962c904&amp;mc_eid=d48c30b96c">beating out inflation</a> and meaningfully improving people's living standards, Gould said.Now, the economy is adding blue-collar jobs at a rapid clip. Since April 2020, industries like construction, manufacturing, and transportation and warehousing have added 4.5 million jobs, compared with 4.1 million jobs in the professional services and information sectors, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The trend is pointing upward: In their most recent employment accounting, blue-collar sectors well outpaced white-collar sectors."I used to always tell friends who need a job — I'm like, hey, why don't you work at Walmart?" Frankie Giambrone, a Walmart manager outside New York City, told me. "And they're like, no, no, no." But over the past two years, he said, their tones have changed. "Now I have the same people that are like, hey, can you get me a job there?" he said. Giambrone started working as a cashier at 15, making $8.25 an hour. Today he makes six figures and has a robust 401(k) and stock options. The company — which has had its own <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/walmart-amazon-lawsuits-employee-attendance-tracking-points-system-policy-2024-2">checkered history</a> with its workers — even paid for him to get his bachelor's degree in business."I never thought Walmart to be my career," he said, "but now that I'm in this position, there's nowhere else I would want to be."It also doesn't hurt that the country has a vocally pro-union president. "Prior to President Biden coming to office, there had been several decades in which there was a very strong emphasis on getting a four-year degree as the pathway to a middle class," Lael Brainard, the director of the National Economic Council, told me. "That's not how the president thinks."Take Scott Gove, 57, who has worked for UPS for 30 years. He believes that the public has been slowly piecing together that union jobs — UPS workers are represented by the Teamsters Union — can provide a solidly middle-class life. "You take a drive through a UPS location and just look at the parking lot of what's parked there," he said. "That'll tell you the type of financial stability that the union has given its members."Between the job stability and the ability to work with your hands, blue-collar work is sexy. Look no further than the extremely popular <a target="_blank" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@nenabebee/video/7349283333798497567?q=blue%20collar%20boyfriend&amp;t=1711468858241">TikToks</a> about bagging a blue-collar boyfriend or girlfriend. Or the people trying to find their next date on the apps."In February there was a 116% increase in mentions of blue-collared jobs on OkCupid profiles compared to the same month last year," Michael Kaye, the director of brand marketing and communications at OkCupid, told me. "The bottom line is an honest living is hot." Still, Giambrone said that when he tells prospective matches on dating sites that he works at Walmart, they'll often unmatch or ghost him — a sharp contrast to how his friends and relatives see his work. But he knows that down the line he'll find his person."We make good money. I'm stable," he said. "I love the fact that ultimately I work and I don't have to worry about a bed. I don't have to worry about living somewhere. I don't have to worry about food. I am comfortable. I live by myself. I have my two cats, and I'm happy."Gove, the UPS driver, said there's a long-running family joke about his relationship. "My wife will tell you the reason she married me was for my healthcare benefits."Collins, the plumber, said that when he started out, clients tended to be dismissive when he showed up. Now he's met with gratitude, especially as it becomes more difficult to find workers in <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/best-high-paying-jobs-hiring-doctors-construction-accounting-2024-4">short supply</a>. When Alyssa DeOliveira changed careers, she was met with incredulity from some friends: Are you sure you want to drive a train? Are you scared? But her job expanded her friend group. "I have friends who are 60," she said. "It's all over the place. There's people from every ethnic background, all ages, any gender, any sexuality. My friends can fit any kind of group there is out there." That's on top of her old friends who have stuck by her during the career transition.There is a tendency — particularly among white-collar workers — to look at blue-collar work through rose-colored glasses, to romanticize the hard work and skills it requires. The labor market hasn't completely reversed course; blue-collar jobs may be booming, but a bachelor's degree is still often a prerequisite for roles with high pay and numerous benefits. And even with prominent labor actions like those from United Auto Workers members and Teamsters, union membership in the US is at a record low."The reality is this is a slow-moving tide, and it has been the case for a very long time that there's been stigma and a general sense that these kinds of industries and this kind of work is somehow less than," Sam Pillar, the CEO of Jobber, a software company that services small blue-collar businesses, told me. "Obviously we think that's total horseshit."Jeff Goldalian, an electrician who owns two brick-and-mortar stores and runs a YouTube channel that teaches people how to become electrical contractors, believes that just posting about the merits of blue-collar jobs might elide the hard work required to make it sustainable."There's a dark side to the trades if you don't know it," he told me. "As an electrician, if you don't know how to get proper training, where to get training or licensing, you're setting yourself up for failure."Blue-collar work is, at the end of the day, work. There are bad bosses, difficult coworkers, and shareholders who value their profits over the workers generating them. Americans increasingly want more from their work, but they don't have the leverage to truly change their conditions — yet. The appeal of blue-collar work might lie in the fact that, to some extent, it satisfies the conditions <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/wrong-great-resignation-recession-means-workers-powerless-despite-labor-shortage-2022-7">economists say</a> are required for worker power: Employers need this work, it's not easy to replace, and many of these jobs have the backing of a union. All those things, though precarious, are now more visible.<a target="_blank" rel="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/author/juliana-kaplan">Juliana Kaplan</a> is a senior labor and inequality reporter on Insider's economy team.

So when I found out there was a job for that, I was determined to get it," Lauren, who previously worked as a face painter at an amusement park and makeup artist at Sephora, said. Since scoring her full-time job following the College Program, she's amassed more than one million TikTok followers by explaining how she broke in and using humor to shed light on what working for the company is like.Lauren's job falls within Disney's parks division (which also encompasses merchandise and cruises), sitting alongside entertainment and ESPN, its two other main branches. Disney employs more than 200,000 people worldwide, but joining its global workforce in this volatile climate might seem tougher than ever.The company tightened its belt this year, reducing headcount by 8,000 roles as <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/bob-iger-ceo-disney-return-insiders-anxious-losing-faith-2023-11">CEO Bob Iger set out to cut costs</a> by $7.5 billion. Meanwhile, the entertainment industry contracted in 2023 by tens of thousands of jobs, leaving <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/disney-assistant-career-challenges-moving-up-hollywood-stalling-2023-10">many young people feeling</a> blocked from breaking into Hollywood or <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/assistants-netflix-disney-warner-bros-discovery-hollywood-cant-get-promotions-2023-10">advancing their careers</a>.But for many entry-level and early-career workers who want a job in entertainment, whether that's on the screen or in live experiences, Disney's global reach, iconic IP, and storytelling legacy make it a coveted place to work.Dan Green, director of the master of entertainment industry management program at Carnegie Mellon University's Heinz College, said a job at Disney can set Hollywood workers up for bright futures. "It's a positive thing on your résumé," he told Business Insider, "because of their hiring policy and the fact that it's such a well-known brand." Green interned at Disney in the 1990s, handling tasks like script coverage (summarizing screenplays for creative executives), and a number of his students have landed jobs there.So how can Disney hopefuls break in? To demystify the interview process and some of the techniques Disney uses to assess prospective hires, BI spoke to six current and former Disney employees, as well as other experts familiar with entertainment-industry recruiting. Most company sources requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak with reporters. Spokespersons for Disney did not respond to a request for comment about recruiting practices or how many people apply and are hired each year.The sources agreed that the hiring experience varies widely depending on the division and role in question. For instance, the process of landing a staff job in the parks would be quite distinct from a position at a Disney-owned network or studio.These people — primarily junior- and early-career staffers in roles ranging from tech and engineering to television and creative development — added that Disney looks for candidates whose skills match the role's needs and who are problem-solvers. The company also wants to bring on employees who have a connection to its history, products, and DNA, they said.Here's how the recruiting process aims to draw that out, and what candidates should prepare for.<h2>Step one: Meet a recruiter</h2>After applying online for an open role, connecting with an official recruiter for the company is generally the first step in Disney's hiring process.Lauren said there are many different kinds of recruiters — some focus on entertainment, she said, while others specialize in filling part- or full-time roles. Still others focus on the Disney College Program. Some can help you figure out where in the company you're most likely to be successful, she added.Recruiters have significant sway over how the interview process unfolds, including who advances and who gets nixed. According to one Disney employee hired during the pandemic, managers may tell recruiters the particulars they're seeking in candidates. "A lot of times, the hiring manager will say, 'Hey, this is exactly what I want,'" this employee said.When it comes to how many rounds applicants will go through and the tone and tenor of the interviews, "it really depends on the position and really, in many ways, it depends on the hiring manager," Green said.A second current employee, who works in a technology-related function, recalled having two interviews — the first with the person who is now their boss, and the second with both a senior technology staffer and a member of the employee's current team. The first interview was to determine whether this person was a cultural fit for the company, while the second was more technical, testing the candidate's mastery of skills required for the job.Candidates who don't receive an offer shouldn't be discouraged, Lauren said. Instead, she advised them to seek recruiters' guidance about other opportunities. Recently, she applied for a cosmetology job in the parks, but the prospective transfer didn't work out. Still, she's not giving up.The company gave her feedback on where she could develop — she hasn't had much experience cutting hair, for example — and she can try again in a few months or explore options in costuming."Rejection is redirection," she said. "It really is kind of more like, 'Not now, but maybe later.'"<h2>Interview questions tap into candidates' skills and Disney knowledge</h2>Depending on the role, candidates could face numerous interview rounds, ranging from two or three up to five or six. The process includes personal and behavioral questions that assess your qualitative aptitude for the job and how well you understand Disney's culture, sources said."They would ask me, 'What are your hobbies?' or 'What were some of your classes while you were in school?' And then they'd be like: 'Hey, do you have experience with Adobe Photoshop?'" said the first employee. The recruiters' goal, this person continued, is "to make sure this person can not only say they know how to use a language or know how to use a specific tool — but can you give me an example of how they'd use that tool?"This employee went through the Disney College Program and said applicants for that program should expect to take personality assessments with automatically-scored multiple choice questions that can disqualify candidates.Questions could address topics like how applicants would interact with guests or whether they're problem solvers in their everyday lives, according to this person. For instance, a candidate might be asked to select from one of several ways they could address a complicated situation with parks goers, the person added.Multiple sources highlighted one question in particular as critical: Why do you want to work for Disney? This question can give rise to others, like: What's your favorite Disney park? What's your favorite ride? Sources concerned with entertainment-related roles said recruiters might ask candidates to name a few shows they've recently watched. A compelling answer connecting candidates to the ethos of the Mouse House can give them an edge, the people agreed.In one of Lauren's early conversations with recruiters, this question came up almost immediately, she said. Recruiters, she added, want to establish that candidates are "passionate about the company first and foremost."In her answer, Lauren invoked themes from her childhood, she said — namely, loving storytelling and wanting to "create happiness for other people." The second employee (who works in a tech-related function) recalled connecting their upbringing as a first-generation immigrant to the role Disney stories and characters played in helping them better integrate into US culture.For candidates looking to work in Disney's entertainment division, a question Green and other experts mentioned is: What are you watching on television and streaming right now? The first employee said they mentioned ABC's "Grey's Anatomy" as a favorite."It's absolutely appropriate to have something in your back pocket on Hulu and Disney — it's just as important to know what you're watching on other streamers or network television," Green said. And, he advised, don't just lean on obvious choices: "'Succession' is low-hanging fruit."<h2>Practical assessments test competencies and problem-solving skills</h2>Practical assessments that determine how comfortable candidates would be in tackling the qualitative elements of their would-be jobs are a hallmark of Disney interviews, sources said.Green said some of his students had been asked to complete PowerPoint presentations, script coverage assignments, or data analysis using figures provided by the company in order to demonstrate their chops.When Lauren was in the running for her current job, she said, recruiters asked her to explain how she'd correct or enhance a series of photos — from improving brightness to fixing the contrast or saturation — and to demonstrate "an artistic eye to see where the creative aspect would come into play." Recruiters used open-ended questions to avoid guiding her to particular answers, she said.The second, tech-focused employee remembers encountering a coding problem during an interview. "It's one of those coding questions that seem very small but can easily have gotchas" that candidates might not catch on first glance, said this person. "They gave me a prompt that I had to fill in, either in Java or in pseudocode, and then they asked me: 'Okay, imagine that this was not the prompt or that the scope of the prompt was a little broader. How would you improve what you've written?'"A third current employee, a creative assistant in Disney's entertainment division, recalled being tested on their competency in assessing creative work, namely doing script coverage. "They simply ask for a script to be read — they gave ample time — and then write coverage on it," this person said.The goal, this assistant explained, was for their future bosses to get a sense of whether they can summarize ideas clearly and concisely, "which is critical for a development role."<h2>Curiosity counts — about the role, the company, the industry</h2>Experts encouraged candidates to be curious and raise their own questions with recruiters.Ben White — a recruiting expert who's studied the company's interviewing processes and assembled videos about getting hired there on his <a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&amp;v=m8Y_SzNgobE">YouTube channel, Ben Talks Talent</a> — suggested: "What needs to happen in the first six months for you to consider this to be a successful hire?" He also proposed asking about training and onboarding, to show that a candidate's outlook on the job is in the "right place.""It shows you're looking for, 'What do I need to do to win for you to and to be a great employee?'" he explained.The first employee recommended that candidates ask questions that enable recruiters to flex their own Disney spirit. "One that I always ask personally, because I think it breaks the ice in a way and humanizes the interview, is: 'What's your favorite Disney memory?' Or, 'What's your favorite Disney character?'" this person said. "I think it helps to bring it back to, 'I understand the Disney culture and the people.'"While it might seem bold to ask that of a recruiter, this employee said it can garner a glowing response: "Most of the time they were like, 'Oh my gosh, no one ever asked me that.'"Green said it's important for candidates to show an awareness of current events in the media industry. "We've been advising students, 'You should have an opinion about the strikes and what's happening,'" he said, referring to the recently-concluded <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/sag-aftra-strike-end-tentative-agreement-2023-10">actors'</a> and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/hollywood-studios-and-writers-reached-agreement-to-end-strike-2023-9">writers' strikes</a> that <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/hollywood-writers-strike-jobless-careers-young-graduates-food-stamps-layoffs-2023-6">roiled Hollywood this year</a>."You are the future executives in the industry," Green added.

4 hacks to land a job at Disney: Insiders spill secrets for tackling recruiters' toughest interview questions and acing skills assessments      

<div type="image" title="One Planet Banner Test" height="138" width="1100" msid="108470190" hostid="261" sizebytes="5076"></div>When Robert Howey joined the US Navy right after high school, he didn't expect to return home anytime soon.Howey, now 30, grew up in northwestern Georgia near Dalton, a small city known as the "carpet capital of the world." If he'd stayed in the area, he likely would have pursued a career in the carpet industry."That's one of the reasons why I wanted to leave," Howey told Business Insider.Howey spent four years as an aerographer's mate analyzing the conditions above and below the ocean. But after being stationed in Japan during the Fukushima earthquake in 2016, he realized the military wasn't his long-term career.He missed home and moved back to Dalton, where a job in carpet manufacturing was indeed the best-paying option. That was until 2018, when Howey heard about a new company moving into Dalton. A local staffing agency was recruiting for Qcells, a solar-panel manufacturing company owned by the South Korean conglomerate Hanwha Group."I didn't even know what a solar panel was," Howey, now a master training coordinator at Qcells, said. "In the beginning, it was just about getting a job where I could grow. Now I believe in the mission of completely clean energy."Howey is among the 1,800 employees Qcells has hired since opening a solar assembly plant in 2019. The company finished an expansion in October, and it plans to open another factory in Cartersville, about an hour south of Dalton, to make smaller parts of solar panels, including ingots, wafers, and cells. Those parts are currently being imported from South Korea and Malaysia.<div type="image" title="An employee at Qcells inspects a solar panel on the factory floor." height="3024" width="4032" msid="108470191" hostid="261" sizebytes="1120990"></div>Qcells is part of a broader transformation of Georgia's economy into a renewable-energy manufacturing hub, accelerated by tax breaks in the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/read-heres-whats-in-the-manchin-deal-for-bidens-agenda-2022-7">Inflation Reduction Act</a> that President Joe Biden signed in August 2022. Since then, more than $15 billion worth of investment has been announced in the state – the second-largest amount behind North Carolina, <a target="_blank" href="https://e2.org/announcements/">according to E2</a>, a nonpartisan business group that advocates climate policy. Most of the money is for new battery plants to supply Georgia's growing <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/electric-vehicles-ev-industry-only-sector-meet-climate-goals-2023-11">electric-vehicle sector</a>, while about $2.6 billion is set to go toward solar manufacturing, led by Qcells. E2 has estimated the projects could create 15,400 jobs statewide.All the activity has made Georgia a key testing ground for the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/biden-laws-us-infrastructure-invest-funding-2024-3">Biden administration's promise</a> that tackling the climate crisis would create <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/climate-jobs-career-grow-pay-well-high-salary-2024">good-paying jobs</a> and help reshore American manufacturing. Though companies have announced billions of dollars' worth of investments, efforts to build a domestic supply chain of solar panels and electric vehicles are still in their infancy and face stiff competition from China.<h2>Aggressive recruitment</h2>Experts in economic and workforce development say it's no accident this <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/jobs-climate-manufacturing-work-best-places-georgia-carolinas-2024-1">manufacturing is taking off in Georgia</a>.Bob Keefe, the executive director of E2, said southeastern states view economic development as "a blood sport." Attracting new companies is a priority for leaders in Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, and the states typically offer generous tax breaks.Keefe added that land and labor in the Southeast tend to be more affordable, in part because few workers are unionized. Many workers are also already skilled in manufacturing.Beyond Qcells, the German auto-parts maker Gedia opened a factory in Dalton to supply the burgeoning EV industry in Georgia and the broader Southeast. In nearby Cartersville, two South Korean conglomerates, SK On and Hyundai, are building a battery plant to supply the electric vehicles Hyundai plans to assemble at a massive new complex in Savannah; both sites are expected to open in 2025. India's Rayzon Solar, which makes solar panels, chose Atlanta for its first US factory. SolarCycle, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/climate-action-30-global-leaders-climate-solutions-2023-11#pablo-ribeiro-dias-cofounder-and-cto-solarcycle-19">which reclaims old solar panels</a> to make new ones, in February announced plans for a glass factory.<div type="image" title="SK On and Hyundai's battery factory under construction in Cartersville, Georgia." height="1660" width="3590" msid="108470192" hostid="261" sizebytes="324146"></div>Pat Wilson, the commissioner of the Georgia Department of Economic Development, told BI that recruiting solar and electric-vehicle companies was strategic. Wilson said that on a trip to Germany his department organized with Gov. Brian Kemp shortly after he took office in 2019, executives they met with at <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/porsche-unveils-mission-x-new-electric-hypercar-ev-electric-vehicle-2023-6">Porsche</a> and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/mercedes-benz-ev-2030-electric-car-market-trends-2024-2">Mercedes-Benz</a> talked at length about electric vehicles.Qcells had already selected Dalton for its new solar-panel factory by the time Kemp was elected. Wilson said that was partly because of Georgia's decadeslong business relationship with South Korea, where the state established an office in 1985.Wilson said he met with SK On's officials several times before it looked to open a battery factory in the Southeast. SK On opened two battery plants in Commerce, Georgia, in 2018 and hired some 3,000 workers, though it <a target="_blank" href="https://www.ft.com/content/9453dc6b-be15-4a54-8e26-fffdc7a3c9eb">recently laid off</a> more than 100 employees as automakers slowed EV investments, the Financial Times reported.Beyond the ties to South Korean conglomerates, Georgia invests more than $100 million dollars a year in workforce training, budget documents show. A state-funded program known as Quick Start can be tailored to the technical skills companies are looking for and offered for free to workers. Georgia's network of 22 technical colleges also partners with local companies to prepare students for work.Heidi Popham, the president of Georgia Northwestern Technical College, said the state agency that oversees that network of technical colleges developed an electric-vehicle-technician certificate, given the massive growth of that industry. She expects her college will offer that certification soon."The students in our automotive-technician program that work on the vehicles will have to have those skills," Popham told BI.<h2>China looms large</h2>Georgia's strategy in recruitment and workforce development is only part of the reason for the boom in renewable-energy-technology companies.In 2018, President Donald Trump <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-solar-tariffs-solar-panels-thousands-of-job-losses-2018-1">slapped tariffs on imports</a> of solar panels and cells, with the goal of helping US manufacturers compete with cheaper imports from China and Southeast Asia. The tariffs were requested by two American companies, including Suniva, which had once been the fastest-growing solar company in the US before filing for bankruptcy protection in 2017.Foreign companies shipping to the US, including Hanwha, were forced to reevaluate their supply chains."We have factories in Korea and Malaysia that were impacted by that duty," said Scott Moskowitz, the director of strategy and market intelligence at Qcells. "The US was our largest market, and we had long wanted to build a factory here. But that trade policy jump-started us making the investment."Qcells' latest expansion plans were buoyed by the Inflation Reduction Act. The law authorized big tax credits for companies making renewable-energy technologies, including solar panels, batteries, and electric vehicles, in the US.Those subsidies could increase if companies use what's known as domestic content: components of those technologies that are also sourced from the US. The Treasury Department is still working on final guidance for which components would qualify. An initial draft covers solar modules and cells but not wafers and polysilicon. In February, a dozen senators, including Sen. Jon Ossoff of Georgia, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.ossoff.senate.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/24.02.28_Sen.-Ossoff-Domestic-Content.pdf">asked the Biden administration</a> to include wafers and polysilicon to help reshore more of the solar-panel supply chain.That change would benefit Qcells. Its parent company, Hanwha, invested in a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.kedglobal.com/energy/newsView/ked202311160013">polysilicon factory in Washington state</a>, reviving operations after a nearly five-year hiatus.Moskowitz said that though the law has spurred the most investment in US manufacturing in decades, these renewable supply chains still face headwinds, primarily from China. He added that China had compensated for its cratering <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/china-economy-crash-real-estate-collapse-property-market-evergrande-bass-2024-2">real-estate sector</a> by rapidly investing in export-oriented manufacturing inside and outside its borders.According to BloombergNEF, China spent $676 billion on the green-energy transition in 2023, while the US spent $303 billion. The year prior, China spent $546 billion while the US spent $141 billion.As a result, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/renewable-energy-how-much-added-wind-solar-evs-2023-12">China dominates the renewable-energy supply chain</a>, from metals to polysilicon to solar components to batteries. The investment has also led to a global oversupply of solar panels and components that's sent prices plunging, and it's made <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/china-xi-jinping-crush-tesla-elon-musk-american-ev-industry-2024-2#:~:text=BYD%20eclipsed%20Tesla%20in%202023,on%20threats%20from%20Chinese%20automakers.">China a major player in the EV market</a>.While the US doesn't import solar panels directly from China, the Biden administration <a target="_blank" href="https://www.commerce.gov/news/press-releases/2023/08/department-commerce-issues-final-determination-circumvention-inquiries">last year determined</a> that certain Chinese companies were shipping products through Southeast Asian countries like Malaysia and Vietnam. This allowed those companies to avoid tariffs, which the administration had waived for two years, through June 2024. According to S&amp;P Global, the US imported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.spglobal.com/marketintelligence/en/news-insights/latest-news-headlines/extreme-dependence-us-solar-panel-imports-boom-to-record-54-gw-in-2023-80448513">more than two-thirds of its solar panels</a> from Southeast Asia last year.The moves reflect the delicate balance the White House is trying to strike between meeting its climate and renewable-energy goals — which rely on imports — and bolstering a domestic manufacturing base.Moskowitz said that despite the difficult market conditions, Qcells was committed to its US expansion plans. The tax breaks in the Inflation Reduction Act are in effect for 10 years, which he said reduced some risk for the company. Qcells also has an eight-year supply deal with Microsoft, which is building out renewable-energy projects to power its operations.Once the Qcells factory in Cartersville is finished, the company said it will produce about 8.4 gigawatts of solar power capacity a year, or <a target="_blank" href="https://www.seia.org/us-solar-market-insight">about a fourth of what the US installed in 2023</a>.<h2>A new era in the carpet capital</h2>Qcells' arrival in Dalton marked a new era in Whitfield County, which was devastated by the Great Recession. The housing-bubble burst, rippled through the carpet industry, and cost the county <a target="_blank" href="https://www.dailycitizen.news/news/local_news/carbondale-business-park-has-attracted-jobs-and-investment/article_3d4025a4-c81a-11ed-830d-e7ae46616883.html">more than 10,000 jobs.</a> The unemployment rate peaked at about 14% in early 2009 and the county's population, which had steadily grown for decades, plateaued. New housing construction halted.Carl Campbell, the executive director of the Dalton-Whitfield County Joint Development Authority, said that while carpet makers like Shaw Industries and Mohawk Industries survived, <a target="_blank" href="https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/SMU13191403231400001">the industry never returned to prerecession employment levels</a> because of consolidation and automation.The decline led economic-development officials to try to diversify businesses in the area. Campbell said the local workforce already valued manufacturing because of the community's long history in carpet. This — combined with Dalton's proximity to Interstate 75, a freight-rail depot, and a generous 10-year property-tax abatement — helped close the deal with Qcells.Since Qcells opened its doors in 2019, Whitfield County's population has slowly started increasing, but not nearly as fast as Georgia's overall population, which grew by 1.7% between 2020 and 2022.Jevin Jensen, the chairman of the Whitfield County Board of Commissioners, said part of the problem is a lack of housing. Each day, Jensen said, 30,000 people come to the county for work and then leave to go home."Surely some of those people want to live here but can't find a place they like or a place that's new," Jensen told BI. "We haven't had any new apartments in 20 years."<div type="image" title="Local residents stand outside Dalton Station, a new apartment complex in Dalton, Georgia." height="2841" width="3024" msid="108470193" hostid="261" sizebytes="694042"></div>But a lot can change in a year. Jensen said Dalton would have 1,200 new apartments by the end of 2024. In early February, he attended a ribbon-cutting ceremony at a chic new studio-apartment complex that's close to downtown and designed to appeal to young professionals. Amenities include a gym, a common area with a pool table, and cornhole on the patio.Afterward, Jensen gave BI a driving tour of three other developments around Dalton, including a multifamily apartment complex at an old jail site."The younger generation doesn't want to spend time on a remodel," Jensen said. "They want move-in-ready, mixed-use, with retail and restaurants in one area. We had nothing like that for young professionals."Howey, the Qcells employee, lives about 30 minutes outside the city, in Calhoun. He's noticed the new housing popping up in the area, along with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/real-estate-investors-ev-truck-electric-charging-stations-2023-10">EV chargers.</a> When he sees solar panels atop the chargers, he feels pride in his job."We are helping power our vehicles and homes in a way that isn't going to kill our planet," Howey said.He's also a father to two stepchildren — he said he's glad they'll have more job opportunities than he did when he graduated."I think the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/solar-panel-industry-electricity-generation-us-eia-tariff-prices-trade-2024-2">solar industry</a> has created a whole new atmosphere in the area," he said, "where people want to come here to succeed and move forward."This article is part of "<a target="_blank" rel="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/category/the-great-transition">The Great Transition</a>," a series covering the big changes across industries that are leading to a more sustainable future.
