A couple of interesting bits have popped up in the news lately surrounding, or stemming from, stock market gains. The first is that there are indeed a few companies that are faring well in the markets, and those companies are hiring. So, if you’re still job-hunting (and who isn’t), their gains could be yours. Here’s a quick list of companies on which the stock market fairy has smiled.
- AIG – OK. The brand’s tarnished, but their money still spends. And, they’re hiring the usual financial services suspects–advisors and planners, tax compliance directors, actuaries and analysts–plus a host of others, including customer support specialists, account reps, sales assistants, and Web and software developers.
- CarMax – The Fortune 500 used car retailer continues to benefit from the recession. Even, their auto-finance unit is profitable. So, they’re hiring sales consultants, strategy and financial analysts, business and sales managers, auto detailers and drivers.
- Carnival Corp. – Their cruise business dropped off less than expected, and they’ve raised their earnings forecast for the fiscal year. They’re hiring cruise sales consultants, business and workforce planning analysts, a VP, Corporate IT, safety managers, a security director, software engineers and more.
- ArvinMeritor Inc. – Shares are up for this global auto-parts supplier, and they’re hiring software, manufacturing and project engineers, an executive assistant, a tax analyst, a Lean Systems Design Expert, a Workforce Planning & OD Manager, and more.
- MedImmune – The U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services just ordered an additional 29 million doses of its H1N1 flu vaccine from this pharma company. They’re hiring scientists (entry-level to senior), biotech sales reps, administrative assistants, lab technicians, a Clinical Marketing Manager, a Site Sourcing Manager, operations and account managers, and many more.
