The UK economy is not out of the woods yet but job prospects look as though they may be improving in the first quarter of 2010. Unemployment levels have dropped a little so what does the future hold in terms of finding construction jobs or a sales and marketing vacancy?

None of us have a crystal ball so we cannot be sure of what awaits us over the coming months, but undoubtedly it will still be a tough time for businesses in the construction industry. However, recent news coming out of the industry should provide some encouragement for employers and job seekers alike.

For example the number of properties coming to market was up in February by 19.8 percent on the same period in 2009. House builders Gleeson registered a small profit for the last year, whilst Redrow?s revenue increased by 25 percent compared to the previous six months although they still registered a loss for that same period.

This doesn?t hide the fact that the construction industry in the UK is still up against it as indeed it is in other countries, but these little snippets of news are a step in the right direction. We hope for more improvement across the whole of the construction industry over the remainder of the year and beyond, with more opportunities for job seekers looking for a construction, sales or marketing vacancy.

Recruitment agencies like Humres Recruitment are advertising more and more jobs in recent months. So any job seekers looking for a construction, sales or marketing vacancy should keep a regular check on this website.
