Job Opening News: IBM Is Hiring, Get Hired In One Of Tech Giant's 20,000 Job Openings

Finding jobs these days is like finding a needle in the haystack. However, recent job updates for IBM revealed that the company is in need of workers to join their workforce. The company is opening more than 20,000 jobs for any qualified jobseekers out there.
As IBM transitions from a software and services business to a cloud company, it is letting go workers whose skills carried IBM in the last decade but are no longer in vogue and IBM said last month that it would lay off an unspecified number of people in those legacy businesses, but it announced that it would hire an equal number of people for its high growth units to replace them, reports CNN Money.
The company has posted about 7,000 positions online but said there are even more open positions that haven't yet been advertised. All told, IBM hopes to fill about 20,000 open positions to fill the void as IBM rattled off 16 straight quarters of sales declines, and last month it announced its worst quarterly sales since 2002, reports the same post.
On different note, despite the job openings that IBM has offered, Jobs & Hire formerly reported of the company laying off workers in the past. It was a move that was needed since the company is shifting to a new venture and new skills are needed.
IBM has been marked as one of the giants in tech and industries. To shift to a new venture would take time even for the company and it is just a matter of time before the firm takes a strong footing and regain their balance in the business world.
