Finding a Job in Pocatello

Pocatello’s unemployment rate is 4.4%, a little above Idaho’s, so good openings get plenty of applicants. A few things help:

• Know the anchor employers. A university, a hospital and a credit union sit near the top of the county list. Finance, HR, IT and operations experience in education, health care or banking travels well here.
• Widen the map if you can work remotely. A remote role lets you keep Pocatello’s lower housing costs and compete for jobs based elsewhere.
• Lead with results, not duties. Tailor your resume to each job and prep real examples for the interview. Our career advice library has more.
