It's stuttering re-start but jobs in the signage, print and display industry seem to be returning. After months of lockdowns, border closures and high street business closures, we are seeing demand spark up again. Let's hope it keeps up.

| Sign & display industry job vacancies are slowly returning as we approach a post-Covid scenario |
Welcome back to JOBS, JOBS, JOBS! Wideformatonline's employment forum, also featured on our twice-weekly newsletters. We kick off with a couple of great positions in Northern Sydney for Melbourne-HQ's Comcut, a highly regarded company that started as a sole trader and just grew and grew.
Industry recruiter James Cryer of JDA Printrecruit notes:
"As we emerge from the traumas of last year, like a bear emerging from hibernation, we take a look around, and what do we see? First, that as an industry, generally speaking, we have survived quite well.

Second, the dead hand of lock-downs has created severe inequalities the way it has affected some companies, but not others. Thirdly, the pandemic has changed consumer habits dramatically - take-away foods (i.e., some packaging companies), up dramatically, whereas exhibitions (i.e., some signage companies), down disastrously!
Fourth, some printing and packaging, companies have re-invented themselves into 'mini-manufacturers' (i.e., facemasks, handwash-dispensers, etc), giving rise to examples of good old Aussie ingenuity - long may it last! Fifth, we should still pressure the federal government (your local Member!) to continue JobKeeper, even in a reduced form for the next few months. This is good economics as it pumps more cash into the system.
Sixth, it should teach us 'to expect the unexpected' and, as business owners, to be more flexible and adaptable, less dependent on narrow product-lines." www.jdaprintrecruit.com.au
