Digital Jobs Open Around Long Island
Companies 'can't hire great people fast enough,' one expert says.
Many consider digital media a growth area, especially on Long Island, say Melville-based EGC's President Ernie Canedeo and Managing Partner Nicole Larrauri – the people behind Long Island's second annual digital summit in Woodbury on Tuesday.
Digital media jobs are the ones where professionals manage brands online, and engage with customers on such platforms as Facebook, Twitter and more.
Companies “can’t hire great people fast enough,” Canedo said. With Manhattan a train ride away, “we have to compete in terms of talent. The typical digital employee is in their 20s,” he added, and likely lives in Brooklyn. That leaves companies with the goal of telling people on Long Island that there are jobs locally.
