Jobs w/ Mike Dunn & Katie Mills, SHRM – SCP – A good job solves a lot of problems. Which jobs are hot, and which jobs are not.

In 2025, the job market is deeply influenced by global events and economic forces—tariffs, supply chain shifts, inflation, and fluctuating consumer spending. These macroeconomic pressures keep both corporate executives and small business owners awake at night.

Why does that matter to you, the job seeker?

Because those very decision-makers—corporate managers, government administrators, and entrepreneurs—are the ones creating, approving, and posting job openings. And with limited resources and tight budgets, every new job posting is a significant investment. It’s not just “a job”—it’s a signal. A signal that a company is choosing to spend valuable resources in a specific area of talent.

Understanding where jobs are being posted helps you avoid chasing cold trails. After all, what’s the point of training for a role that’s no longer in demand?

Unless, of course, you’re running into “ghost jobs”—positions posted but never intended to be filled. (More on that in an upcoming post.)

Mike Dunn
Mike spent 24 years as a Major Accounts Manager for a Fortune 50 IT company before launching three businesses that focus on job creation, workforce development, and customer service:

• GameChangingBusinessSkills.com: A “B2C” platform designed to help non-college grads, recently downsized workers, single parents, seniors, and real estate professionals land jobs and grow in their careers. The goal? Help people land a median-paying CSR 1 job (~$40,130 as of 4/21/25 -salary.com) and teach insider tips to get promoted fast. The value proposition is: “IF” this focused video training, certificate, and 6 months of job leads help you get a CSR 1 job at this median salary.com posted rate, the “payback is less than the four full days on the job.” Less than one week.
• SUTATaxSavings.com: “B2B” Specializes in helping downsizing companies reduce their State Unemployment TAx (SUTA) liabilities. If companies don’t save more than our fee, we refund the difference. The value proposition: huge upside for the company and former employees with a zero financial risk guarantee.
• NearshoreElite.com: “B2B” Operates a secure, bilingual inbound contact center in a prime location in Mexico. The value proposition: we deliver a 50% to 100% ROI for clients through top-tier 24/7 customer service with a far lower costly average turnover rate, improving the benefits of better customer retention and customer satisfaction.
