They need qualified medical professionals. People who know their protocols (even in these challenging times). People who know their systems and modes of communication. Taking people off the street sounds unlikely, even negligent.
Dear NJ Unemployment Claimant:
Gov. Phil Murphy has launched an online jobs portal to connect New Jersey residents with immediate openings in industries critical to our COVID-19 response.
The jobs portal is available here: jobs.covid19.nj.gov
Thousands of jobs are currently listed. Check the site often. New information and new positions are being added daily.
The portal provides opportunities for residents who have been laid off or seen their hours reduced because of COVID-19 to get back to work quickly _ while also providing critical support to the industries on the front lines of fighting this pandemic. These key industries need thousands of workers to perform the essential duties being required of them during this public health emergency.
Job openings currently available through the portal are primarily in industries that are central to the state's COVID-19 response, but going forward it will expand to include any businesses that wish to tap into New Jersey's job talent network.
For additional COVID-19 resources for workers and businesses, visit: nj.gov/labor.
This new jobs portal will match employees who need to keep income coming in with businesses that need workers immediately to fulfill critical needs during the pandemic.
Together, we will emerge stronger on the other side.
Thank you.
