Good Morning, Job Seekers!
In celebration of National Clean Your Virtual Desktop Day, I hope everyone takes a few minutes to toss at least one unused desktop icon into the trash. Let's be honest... some of those files have been "temporarily saved" since there was snow on the ground.
This week's HotJobs list is ready and filled with opportunities from across Central Iowa. Think of the list as a compass rather than a map. It's designed to point you toward companies, industries, and career paths that may be a great fit while inspiring new ideas for your job search.
Don't stop with the list! Be sure to:
✅ Visit company websites directly
✅ Search additional openings through online job boards
✅ Explore opportunities on IowaWORKS.gov
✅ Stop into the IowaWORKS office and ask for the second page of employment opportunities
Need help with your résumé, interview skills, or career planning? Our Career Planners are here to help. For quick and easy access to IowaWORKS resources, use our referral link:

And here's one favor to ask of our followers: Like and follow our page! If every follower invited just one person to follow IowaWORKS, we could dramatically expand our reach, share more opportunities, and connect even more job seekers and employers throughout our communities.
The more people we reach, the more opportunities we can help bring to Central Iowa.
Have a great week, good luck with your job search, and remember... a clean desktop may not get you a job, but it might help you find your résumé a little faster!
