Job search patterns are shifting towards sectors where activity is set to resume.

Trainee train drivers, DIY stores like @BandQ, garden centres and social care are job search keywords that have grown the most in popularity over the last 2 weeks

This shows people are jumping on potential job opportunities as some sectors/businesses re-open.

Garden centres are one example - job search ramped up as announcements about re-opening began last week

Searches for social care roles spiked at the end of April. Possibly due to a government campaign to boost the adult social care workforce. But jobseeker interest didn't last

Searches for porters and hospital porters fell more than -50% over the 2 weeks to last Friday.

Mortuary and funeral services also saw falls, as did searches for farm work and jobs at Domino's

The fall in searches for farm work follows a huge rise at the start of April, when fruit picking jobs were in the national headlines https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-52215606.

Jobseeker interest seems to have been short-lived

Job search patterns are changing quickly in response to the forced reshaping of the economy.

Jobseekers look toward reopening sectors for opportunities.
